Sappho - Love Songs & Other FragmentsPublic Domain Poets #15 | Publicdomainpoets.comSappho (c. 630-570 B.C.) was born into a wealthy family from the island of Lesbos, and is said to have had 3 brothers. She probably took up poetry early in life, and would go on to be one of the most highly regarded lyric poets of her time. This collection brings together a generous helping of her surviving fragments, translated by James Easby-Smith (1891) & Edward Storer (1919), alongside a selection of others from various sources (1885-1924), with a 'Foreword' by Edward Storer. New edition designed and edited by Dick Whyte.The moon has set and the PleiadesHave gone.It is midnight; the hours pass; and ISleep alone.Sappho was exiled to Sicily around 600 BC, but continued to write until around 570 BC. While known to be a prolific poet, much of her work was later destroyed by the Church, in large part because her love poetry was addressed to women:- some 10,000 lines reduced to fragments. It was translations of these incomplete verses, and specifcally their (unintentional) fragmentation, which would go on to influence early 'free verse' and Imagist poets, including Edward Storer, H.D., Amy Lowell, Marie Tudor Garland (et al.).Love shakes my soul.So do the oak-trees on the mountainShake the wind.Storer, a founding member of one of the earliest English-language 'free verse' circles, went on to publish his own translations of Sappho's fragments in 1915, seemingly drawing on English-language versions of Japanese tanka and haikai as models. Other well-known translations at the time included Henry Wharton (1885), James Easby-Smith (1891), J.R. Tutin (1903), etc.Divine shell,Your song.Public Domain Press is dedicated to producing new editions of out-of-print poetry, particularly with regard to compressed & fragmented 'free verse' from the late-1800s & early-1900s. All poems start as facsimiles - to preserve original fonts - which are cleaned up, edited, and spaciously laid-out, adorned with illustrations, and ornaments from the books and magazines they originally appeared in. These are not simply "reprints" of previously existing books, but newly crafted collections, lovingly edited from public domain material, for the serious poetry lover.

Perhaps the most perilous and the most alluring venture in the whole field of poetry is that which Mr. Carman has undertaken in attempting to give us in English verse those lost poems of Sappho of which fragments have survived. The task is obviously not one of translation or of paraphrasing, but of imaginative and, at the same time, interpretive construction. It is as if a sculptor of to-day were to set himself, with reverence, and trained craftsmanship, and studious familiarity with the spirit, technique, and atmosphere of his subject, to restore some statues of Polyclitus or Praxiteles of which he had but a broken arm, a foot, a knee, a finger upon which to build. Mr. Carman's method, apparently, has been to imagine each lost lyric as discovered, and then to translate it; for the indefinable flavour of the translation is maintained throughout, though accompanied by the fluidity and freedom of purely original work.

Lieder mit Sprengstoff - so sahen es die Philologen im 19. Jahrhundert: eine Frau, die andere Frauen liebt und die noch dazu in politische Ränkespiele involviert ist. Heute ist es nicht mehr nötig, Sappho und ihre Liebeslyrik von einem vermeintlichen Makel reinzuwaschen. Anton Bierl findet einen erfrischend neuen Zugang. Er hat alle Lied-Fragmente zusammengeführt und zeigt, worum es im verlorenen Kontext jeweils gegangen sein mag. Und so erhellen seine ausführlichen Anmerkungen und sein Nachwort, was man über Sappho - die erste und nahezu einzige Dichterin der Antike -, ihre Familie, ihre Lebenswelt auf der griechischen Insel Lesbos um das Jahr 600 v. Chr., ihre Rolle in ihrem Clan und die Beziehung zu den Mädchen in ihrem Kreis weiß. Erste vollständige Edition nach den spektakulären neuen Papyrusfunden mit deutscher Übersetzung!

Die Stimme der griechischen Lyrikerin Sappho von Lesbos hat über mehr als zweieinhalbtausend Jahre nichts von ihrem Zauber eingebüßt. Ihre Gedichte gehören zum literarischen Weltkulturerbe. Mit der vorliegenden Übersetzung und Erklärung wird dem Leser ein Herzstück frühgriechischer Dichtung aufs neue nahegebracht. Platon verlieh ihr den Ehrentitel einer "zehnten Muse". In der berühmten Bibliothek von Alexandria füllten ihre Gedichte neun Bücher. Die römischen Lyriker haben sie als eines ihrer Vorbilder gefeiert. Catull und Horaz vermittelten die von ihr erfundene sogenannte sapphische Strophe der Nachwelt; sie ging in der Formensprache der europäischen Dichtung ein und ist bis heute lebendig geblieben. Aber nur ein kleiner Teil ihrer Lieder, die in dem von ihr geleiteten Mädchenkreis auf Lesbos und bei der Hochzeit ihrer Schülerinnen gesungen wurden, hat sich erhalten - das Meiste davon auch noch in höchst fragmentarischem Zustand.Sappho ist eine der am häufigsten übersetzten antiken Autoren. Die kostbaren Bruchstücke ihrer wunderbar persönlichen Liebesdichtung bedürfen immer wieder neuer Bemühung um eine angemessene Wiedergabe und einer sie dem heutigen Leser erschließenden Erklärung.

The nine lyric poets were a canon of ancient Greek composers esteemed by the scholars of Hellenistic Alexandria as worthy of critical study. The most famous of which is probably Sappho, who was born sometime between 630 and 612 BC on the Greek island of Lesbos. The famous Library of Alexandria collected Sappho's poems into nine books, unfortunately these editions have been lost. Today only fragments of the poetess' work remains. These fragments are collected together here in this volume of "The Poems of Sappho and Others" along with fragments of the other Greek monodist lyric poets contemporary to Sappho. Altogether we find the poetry of Alcaeus, Pythermus, Anacreon, Anacreontea, Corrina, Telesilla, Praxilla, Erinna as well as Sappho in this volume of poetry translated by Walter Petersen. This edition is printed on premium acid-free paper.

Sappho, the earliest and most famous Greek woman poet, sang her songs around 600 BCE on the island of Lesbos. Of the little that survives from the approximately nine papyrus scrolls collected in antiquity, all is translated here: substantial poems, fragments, single words - and, notably, five stanzas of a poem that came to light in 2014. Also included are new additions to five fragments from the latest discovery, and a nearly complete poem published in 2004. The power of Sappho's poetry - her direct style, rich imagery, and passion - is apparent even in these remnants. Diane Rayor's translations of Greek poetry are graceful and poetic, modern in diction yet faithful to the originals. The full range of Sappho's voice is heard in these poems about desire, friendship, rivalry, family, and 'passion for the light of life'. In the introduction and notes, internationally respected Sappho scholar Andre Lardinois presents plausible reconstructions of Sappho's life and work, the importance of the recent discoveries in understanding the performance of her songs, and the story of how these fragments survived.

Sappho's poems survive only in fragments following religious conspiracies to silence her. Sappho penned verse on the intense power of the female libido; on the themes of romance, love, yearning, heartbreak, and personal relationships with women. This work retains the standard numerical order of the fragments and has been arranged in six sections.
