She ran a school for upper-class young women. Many believe that her poetry shows that she was attracted to her students. What did the Greek poets think of her?: Though only a small part of her work has reached us, its raw emotional honesty is timeless. Other (male) poets of the time respected her, and the renowned Greek philosopher Plato was a fan; he called Sappho "The Tenth Muse", giving her near-goddess-like status. Was Sappho a Lesbian?: Certainly some of her poetry suggests that. However, the tale of her death is that she flung herself off of a high cliff because a ferryman had spurned her. This tale of Sappho's death echoes and twists a story told of Britomartis and Dictynna, early Minoan goddesses on the island of Crete. Britomartis, fleeing unwanted attention from King Minos, jumps off a cliff and is then rescued by a fisherman, whom she also flees when he too propositions her. Britomartis was later demoted to "nymph" status and attached to the retinue of the freedom-loving, male intolerant

42. Sappho And Lesbian Poetry A short study of several poems, with text in translation, by William Harris PhD, Prof.em. Middlebury College. http://www.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.

When the record reviewers get round to this disc they will be reaching for the superlatives and it would not surprise me if it were to end up as Gramophone's Record of the Year. Sappho is a sensual and voluptuous orchestral song cycle for mezzo voice that has been virtually hidden for 90 years. Bantock creates a warm-textured thickly upholstered sound that has been caught to perfection by the engineer (Tony Faulkner) with a perfect balance between a large orchestra and the soloist, the mezzo, Susan Bickley. Following an orchestral prelude, there are nine songs and the work lasts fully an hour. Surviving fragments were collated and translated by Henry Wharton in 1885 and it was from this that Helen Bantock worked. One poem

Sappho (c. 600 B.C.) Sappho was a poetess of Ancient Greece. She is thought to have written nine books of poems, although the first written record of her is not dated until approximately the third century BC, nearly a hundred years after she lived. It may be said that in her was born the greatest lyric poetess of all time. By the Middle Ages, all copies were lost. Only one poem from Sappho survives in complete form, “Hymn of Aphrodite.” The longest fragment of Sappho’s poetry is only 16 lines long. Sappho was a lyric poet who developed her own particular meter, known as Sapphic meter, and she was credited for leading an aesthetic movement away from classical themes of Gods, to the themes of individual human experiences. Sappho wrote mainly love poems, of which only fragments survive, save a single complete poem, “Hymn to Aphrodite.” Sappho's poems usually focus on the relationships among women. This focus has given rise to speculation that Sappho's interest in women was what today would be called homosexual or lesbian; the word "lesbian" comes from the island of Lesbos and the communities of women there. Sappho’s poetry was written to be sung accompanied by the lyre. An indication of the respect accorded her music is that she was deemed the inventor of the plectrum and a type of lyre called the pectis. She was also regarded as the creator of an emotional style of music called the mixolydian, which was adopted by the tragedians. As well as a lyre player, Sappho was a singer. It would have been by the performance that her poetry was originally published, passed on from singer to singer.

Sappho PoeForward.com POETRY: Ancient Classical Modern ... ABOUT US SAPPHO Sappho Fragments Sappho Biography Sappho was an Ancient Greek lyric poet, born on the island of Lesbos. In history and poetry texts, she is sometimes associated with the city of Mytilene on Lesbos; she was also said to have been born in Eresos, another city on Lesbos. Her birth was sometime between 630 BC and 612 BC, and it is said that she died around 570 BC. The bulk of her poetry has been lost, but her immense reputation has endured. Sappho is believed to have been the daughter of Scamander and Cleïs and to have had three brothers. She was married (Attic comedy says to a wealthy merchant, but that is apocryphal), the name of her husband being in dispute. Some translators have interpreted a poem about a girl named Cleïs as being evidence that she had a daughter by that name. It was a common practice of the time to name daughters after grandmothers, so there is some basis for this interpretation. But the actual Aeolic word pais was more often used to indicate a slave or any young girl, rather than a daughter. In order to avoid misrepresenting the unknowable status of young Cleïs, translator Diane Rayor and others, such as David Campbell, chose to use the more neutral word "child" in their versions of the poem. Sappho was born into an aristocratic family, which is reflected in the sophistication of her language and the sometimes rarified environments which her verses record. References to dances, festivals, religious rites, military fleets, parading armies, generals, and ladies of the ancient courts abound in her writings. She speaks of time spent in Lydia, one of the wealthiest and most powerful countries of that time. More specifically, Sappho speaks of her friends and happy times among the ladies of Sardis, capital of Lydia, once the home of Croesus and near the gold-rich lands of King Midas.
