About this audiobook

Sappho, the ancient Greek poetess, remains one of the most influential figures in Western literature for her lyrical and deeply personal poetry. Born around 630 BCE on the island of Lesbos, Sappho’s verses celebrated love, desire, and the human experience with unparalleled emotional depth and beauty. This biography explores her life, her unique style of poetry, and her role as a cultural icon in antiquity. Although much of her work has been lost, the fragments that survive showcase her brilliance and timeless appeal. This book celebrates Sappho’s legacy as a pioneer of lyric poetry and an enduring symbol of artistic expression, whose work continues to resonate with readers, scholars, and poets across centuries.
