Love Songs of Sappho
Sappho
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.

Posted by Marley Kingston (1 year ago ) These love songs are so beautiful in their simplicity. One of my favorite, memorable, lines is when Aphrodite is laughing at Sappho and says "how did you wound so easily?" I can relate to that feeling that love is like a wound, an ache in the heart, and the idea that God (or "the gods") is laughing at me.
