1      Although they are
2      Anactoria
3      And their feet move
4      Awed by her splendor
5      Before they were mothers
6      Blame Aphrodite
7      Cleis
8      Cyprian, in my dream
9      Drapple-thorned Aphrodite,
10      He is more than a hero
11      Hymn To Aphrodite
12      I have no complaint
13      I took my lyre
14      I took my lyre and said
15      In the spring twilight
16      It is the Muses
17      It was you, Atthis, who said
18      It's no use
19      Leto and Niobe
20      Like the gods. . .

Sappho is the high priestess of lyric poetry.
Linda Hollander (4/10/2008 2:19:00 PM)
I hope someone can help me. It is my understanding that Winnaretta Singer, the Princesse de Polignac, made many translations of Sappho's poems at the turn of the 20th century (Perhaps between 1900-1914, but possibly not until after WWl) . I would like to find them, but have not been successful so far.

Is there a Sappho scholar reading this who can help me? If so, please feel free to email me at Linda5051@aol.com as soon as you read this.

Any assistance will be greatly appreciated.
