Ode to Aphrodite - The Poems and Fragments of Sappho by Sappho

This pocket-sized volume contains 45 of Sappho's existing poems and fragments, translated and interpreted by John Myres O'Hara and Henry de Vere Stacpoole.

Sappho was a lyric poet from the Greek island of Lesbos, and little is known about her life. Her poetry was known and adored across the ancient world, and she is thought to have lived between 612 and 570 B.C.E. Sappho is most recognized as a symbol of female homosexuality, having inspired the phrases sapphic and lesbian, and her poetry survive in fragmentary form today.
