Description: ITEM: Up for sale is this dated 1887 rebound book titled SAPPHO Memoir, Text, Selected Renderings and a Literal Translation of Henry Thornton Wharton, Second Edition, London, David Scott, 370 Oxford Street, MDCCCLCCCVII (1887). Beautifully rebound by Blue Dog Bindery, Fine Bookbinding, Milford, PA. 213 pages, nice shape. Sappho c. 630 – c. 570 BCE was an Archaic Greek poet from the island of Lesbos. Sappho is known for her lyric poetry, written to be sung while accompanied by a lyre. In ancient times, Sappho was widely regarded as one of the greatest lyric poets and was given names such as the "Tenth Muse" and "The Poetess". Most of Sappho's poetry is now lost, and what is extant has mostly survived in fragmentary form; two notable exceptions are the "Ode to Aphrodite" and the Tithonus poem. As well as lyric poetry, ancient commentators claimed that Sappho wrote elegiac and iambic poetry. Three epigrams attributed to Sappho are extant, but these are actually Hellenistic imitations of Sappho's style.SHIPPING: Buyer agrees to pay calculated shipping rate.
