Acerca de este audiolibro
Sappho lived six centuries before Christ, at a period when lyric poetry was peculiarly esteemed and cultivated at the centres of Greek life. The metropolis of this lyric realm was Mitylene of Lesbos, where, amid the myrtle groves and temples, Beauty and Love in their young warmth could fuse the most rigid forms to fluency. Here Sappho was the acknowledged queen of song. Sappho's poetry was venerated for a thousand years, but almost all has been lost to us; only two small odes and a few scintillating fragments surviving. Mr. Carman seems to have imagined each lost lyric as discovered, then to translate it. In the opinion of the reader of these poems, they approach "real poetry", which according to Robert Graves , constricts the throat and makes a shiver run down the spine.
