Description
In this expanded edition of his distinguished Sappho: Poems and Fragments (2002), Stanley Lombardo offers over 100 fragments not included in the original edition, as well as the new poems discovered in 2004 and 2014. His translation of this latter material yields fresh insights into Sappho's representations of old age, two of her brothers, and her special relationship with Aphrodite.

Reviews"Very good indeed to have a complete and up-to-date Sappho for the non-specialist reader, and especially one with such an intelligent and helpful Introduction to the poet herself." Jenny March, in The Reading Room , classicsforall.org.uk
