Jeffrey M. Duban The Lesbian lyre
reclaiming Sappho for the 21st century
Gedrukt boek
Sappho is antiquity's greatest lyric poet. Born over 2,600 years ago on the Greek island of Lesbos, and writing amorously of women and men alike, she is the namesake lesbian. What's left of her writing, and what we know of her, is fragmentary. Shrouded in mystery, she is nonetheless repeatedly translated and discussed by all. Duban provides an overview of Sappho's times and themes, exploring her eroticism and Greek homosexuality overall.
