Though her extant work consists only of a collection of fragments and a handful of complete poems, her mystique endures to be discovered anew by each generation, and to inspire new efforts at bringing the spirit of her Greek words faithfully into English.</p><p>In the past, translators have taken two basic approaches to Sappho: either very literally translating only the words in the fragments, or taking the liberty of reconstructing the missing parts. Willis Barnstone has taken a middle course, in which he remains faithful to the words of the fragments, only very judiciously filling in a word or phrase in cases where the meaning is obvious. This edition includes extensive notes and a special section of Testimonia: appreciations of Sappho in the words of ancient writers from Plato to Plutarch. Also included are a glossary of all the figures mentioned in the poems, and suggestions for further reading.</p>...4276354The Complete Poems of Sappho280389https://www.gandhi.com.mx/the-complete-poems-of-sappho-9780834822009/phttps://gandhi.vtexassets.com/arquivos/ids/4018664/image.jpg?v=638392521143000000InStockMXN99999DIEbook2009Inglés
