Sappho is one of the most famous Greek writers, known for the fragments that are left of her books of poetry. Sappho Birth: Sappho was born in Eresus, on the Greek island of Lesbo, but myths and legends now obscure much of the information we have about her life, writings, and death. Sappho was from an aristocratic family, but her family was forced into exile in Sicily because of a political rebellion. Sappho is believed to have been a contemporary of Alcaeus and Stesichorus. According to some records, Alcaeus was even believed to have been Sappho lover. Sappho Death: According to one legend, Sapppho committed suicide. She was apparently in love with Phaon, a young boatsman, and jumped to her death when her love was rejected. The year of her death is not known. Sappho Marriage: Sappho married, as was the custom, though little is known of her married life. Her husband's name was Cerkylas, and she gave birth to a daughter, Cleis.

22. Lyrik, Die Dichterin Sappho Eine Kurzbiographie Saphhos (von die-lyrik.de). http://www.die-lyrik.de/sappho.htm

Die Lyrik Surftip: uzo.de Forum für Kultur Begriffslexikon Metrik, das Versmaß ... Rhetorische Begriffe Die griechische Dichterin Sappho Der Dichter Alkaios beschreibt Sappho als liebenswürdige, heitere, anmutige und würdevolle Frau, gibt ihr Attribute wie veilchenlockig, hehr und süßlächelnd. Sappho war die größte Lyrikerin des Altertums. Ihre Lieder sind Götterhymnen, Hochzeits- und Liebeslieder. Die Lieder wurden später in 9 Büchern vereinigt, doch sind heute neben Bruchstücken nur wenige Lieder erhalten. Horaz nahm das Versmaß des 1. Buches als sapphisches Maß zum Vorbild für viele Oden. Es wird darüber spekuliert, ob sie mit einem reichen Andrier vermählt gewesen sei und mit ihm eine Tochter hatte. Geboren wurde sie in Mytilene und stammte aus einem Adelsgeschlecht. Der Name des Vaters scheint Skamandronymos, der Name ihrer Mutter und Tochter Kleis gewesen zu sein. Aus politischen Gründen mußte sie 596 v. Chr. nach Sizilien flüchten.

23. Sappho And Lesbian Poetry sappho The 2006 revision of '94 article, please use this not the original cached version. http://community.middlebury.edu/~harris/Translations/Sappho.html

SAPPHO and THE WORLD OF LESBIAN POETRY William Harris, Prof. Em. Middlebury College This paper, written in l996 and revised ten years later, dates from the early days of the Internet when we could not use Greek characters with a Roman text. A longer and more detailed 134 page .pdf article with the Greek text, has an English translation, art background and detailed sound analysis; but this paper is a good shorter introduction to Sappho. When we speak of Sappho, the poet from the island of Lesbos, and her poetry, we are thinking of something very special, a transcendental kind of poetry which is somehow purer, fairer, lovelier than anything else in the Western world. Considering how little we know about the poet herself, and how little we have of the remains of her poetry, we might well ask ourselves if we are not participating in a literary myth, creating a poet-figure of such great talent with so little verse, that one can only admire from a vast distance. But we are interested here in Sappho as a poet, and not the biography of an ancient woman from Lesbos who wrote poetry. What little historical information has come down has been the basis for vast speculation, but it is largely based on scraps of hearsay from inauthentic and late sources. It might be best to wipe the historical slate clean of "fact", and look more carefully at the poems themselves with their scraps and bits, and see what we can evoke from reading them as text. There is a vast difference between Criticism and Interpretation. The classical scholarly world has long shown its preference for the critics, and has until recently been wary of the subjective side of interpretative study. It is as if Criticism founded in history through cumulative scholarship might seem at times more interesting than the imaginive world of vision and intuition. In ancient studies we seem to have focused on developing a sharp critical outlook, even as an end in itself, rather than one of the tools of interpretation.

Lesbian Poetry Historical Poetry Contemporary Poetry Resources for Poets and Readers Lesbian Poetry FAQ ... Historical : Sappho Sappho circa 630 B.C. One of the great Greek lyrists and few known female poets of the ancient world, Sappho was born some time between 630 and 612 BC. She was an aristocrat who married a prosperous merchant, and she had a daughter named Cleis. Her wealth afforded her with the opportunity to live her life as she chose, and she chose to spend it studying the arts on the isle of Lesbos. In the seventh century BC, Lesbos was a cultural center. Sappho spent most her time on the island, though she also traveled widely throughout Greece. She was exiled for a time because of political activities in her family, and she spent this time in Sicily. By this time she was known as a poet, and the residents of Syracuse were so honored by her visit that they erected a statue to her. Sappho was called a lyrist because, as was the custom of the time, she wrote her poems to be performed with the accompaniment of a lyre. Sappho composed her own music and refined the prevailing lyric meter to a point that it is now known as

Courtesy of Wikipedia. More Images zSB(3,3) Sappho and Alcaeus were both contemporaries, natives of Mytilene on Lesbos, and aristocrats affected by local power struggles, but beyond that, they had little in common except the most important: a gift for writing lyric poetry. In explanation for their remarkable talent it was said that when Orpheus (the father of songs) was torn to pieces by the Thracian women, his head and lyre were carried to and buried on Lesbos. Sappho Lyric poetry was personal and evocative, allowing the reader to identify with the poet's private despair and hopes. It's for this reason that Sappho, even 2600 years later, can arouse our emotions.

Sappho's Hymn to Aphrodite Translation, notes and metrical explanation Iridescent-throned Aphrodite, deathless Child of Zeus, wile-weaver, I now implore you, Don'tI beg you, Ladywith pains and torments Crush down my spirit, But before if ever you've heard my pleadings Then return, as once when you left your father's Golden house; you yoked to your shining car your Wing-whirring sparrows; Skimming down the paths of the sky's bright ether On they brought you over the earth's black bosom, Swiftlythen you stood with a sudden brilliance, Goddess, before me; Deathless face alight with your smile, you asked me What I suffered, who was my cause of anguish, What would ease the pain of my frantic mind, and Why had I called you To my side: "And whom should Persuasion summon Here, to soothe the sting of your passion this time? Who is now abusing you, Sappho? Who is Treating you cruelly? Now she runs away, but she'll soon pursue you; Gifts she now rejectssoon enough she'll give them; Now she doesn't love you, but soon her heart will Burn, though unwilling."
