Sappho’s Fragments were absolutely wonderful. The poetry was so beautifully crafted and explored the likes of love, womanhood, marriage, the gods, death and my personal favourite couple being on Troy. There was also analysis and notes accompanying each fragment which was really engaging and gave great context of each. It was really unstressful, beautifully written poems which I kind of needed in my current read as I don’t think I could’ve coped with much that was heavy. It’s just upsetting that we only have fragments but I suppose we can be thankful at least those survived.
Really loved this little book.

That later on,
Even in an age unlike our own,
Someone will remember who we are."

Poetry isn't usually my thing, but I've always wanted to read Sappho. Beautiful poetry and now I want to read more since I know this isn't a complete collection.

An impressive collection and a testament to the work of scholars across time. Still, it is a pity that so much of Sappho's work has been lost and we can only glean so much from the work of others. We can only hope that more discoveries can be made in the future.
