nmoira Posted August 20, 2008 Share Posted August 20, 2008 I'm looking for a good translation of Sappho's fragments. Does anyone have a favorite? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

genie Posted August 20, 2008 Share Posted August 20, 2008 I don't think I've read a translation of hers that I didn't love. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you know of a heavily illustrated translation that would be appropriate for a 9 year old? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Here's a website called Isle of Lesbos that lists several different translations side by side to compare. I've not come across an illustrated version yet, but now you've got me wanting to find one.

nmoira Posted August 20, 2008 Author Share Posted August 20, 2008 Humour aside, I've just had what looks like a good rec in a PM: Sappho: A New Translation. Thanks. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know how I missed that one... I might have entered on one of the contemporary poetry pages and misconstrued the nature of the site.
