Little remains today of her writings which are said to have filled nine papyrus rolls in the great library at Alexandria some 500 years after her death. The surviving texts consist of a lamentably small and fragmented body of lyric poetry - among them poems of invocation desire spite celebration resignation and remembrance - that nevertheless enables us to hear the living voice of the poet Plato called the tenth Muse. This is a new translation of her surviving poetry.ISBN-13 9780140455571Language EnglishNumber of Pages 160Publication Date 27 October 2009Publisher Penguin Books Ltd SpecificationsAbout the Author Sappho was born sometime between 630 and 617 BCE and died around 570.
