The New Sappho on Old Age: Textual and Philosophical Issues - Hellenic Studies Series
Ellen Greene
This is the first collection of essays in English devoted to discussion of a newly recovered Sappho poem and two other incomplete texts on the same papyri. The contributions demonstrate how the “New Sappho” can be appreciated as a complete, gracefully spare poetic statement regarding the painful inevitability of death and aging.
