RSS Font: S S+ S++ Only a few hundred years ago, though, an informal poll would likely have revealed an entirely different image of Sappho, whose life was a popular subject for paintings, operas, ballets and other pageants. In the 18th and early 19th centuries, she was mostly famous for having thrown herself from the top of an enormous cliff out of unrequited love for the beautiful (male) youth Phaon. In those days, she was sometimes depicted as having written verse, sometimes as having a great fondness for girls, but the heartbreak and the leap were the important things. This was only one of many incarnations. Throughout history, Sappho has been labeled a genius, a pervert, a lovely blushing maiden, a homely bluestocking, a nymphomaniac, an uptight schoolmistress, a solitary, a diva, a cult leader, an abandoned lover, an irresistible seducer, the "Tenth Muse," a mother, a feminist, a victim, a masochist and a sadist.

Sappho's Leap If you could go back in time 2600 years and get inside the head of the greatest singer of love the world has ever known, Sappho's Leap would be the result. An odyssey of love and adventure which spans the ancient world, Erica Jong's witty, sensuous and compellingly readable new novel, tells the story of a passionate woman who was ahead of her time and whose songs have proven to be immortal. Jong's Sappho is a sort of female Odysseus, stretching the boundaries of time and space, journeying not only into the reality of the ancient world but also into lands of myth and legend which have shaped the way we imagine our lives today. Born on the island of Lesbos circa 600 BCE, Sappho falls madly in love with the dashing poet Alcaeus, plots with him to overthrow the dictator of her island, is caught and exiled and married off to a repellent older man in the hopes that matrimony will keep her out of trouble. It does no such thing, instead it starts her off on a series of amorous adventures with both women and men which take her from Syracuse to Delphi to Egypt and even to the Land of the Amazons and the shadowy realm of Hades. Fearless, heroic, yet full of vulnerability, Erica Jong's Sappho is one of her most unforgettable and exuberant heroines.

Sappho One of the great Greek lyrists and few known female poets of the ancient world 630 - 612 BC Sappho 26" x -8-1/2" Durastone with Aged Iron Finish Sorry, This item is no longer available. O ne of the great Greek lyrists and few known female poets of the ancient world, Sappho was born some time between 630 and 612 BC. She was an aristocrat who married a prosperous merchant, and she had a daughter named Cleis. Her wealth afforded her with the opportunity to live her life as she chose, and she chose to spend it studying the arts on the isle of Lesbos. In the seventh century BC, Lesbos was a cultural center. Sappho spent most her time on the island, though she also traveled widely throughout Greece. She was exiled for a time because of political activities in her family, and she spent this time in Sicily. By this time she was known as a poet, and the residents of Syracuse were so honored by her visit that they erected a statue to her. Sappho was called a lyrist because, as was the custom of the time, she wrote her poems to be performed with the accompaniment of a lyre. Sappho composed her own music and refined the prevailing lyric meter to a point that it is now known as sapphic meter. She innovated lyric poetry both in technique and style, becoming part of a new wave of Greek lyrists who moved from writing poetry from the point of view of gods and muses to the personal vantage point of the individual. She was one of the first poets to write from the first person, describing love and loss as it affected her personally.

Sappho for Kids - the Ancient Greek poet Sappho Sappho, from a red-figure vase Sappho is the only woman from ancient Greece whose writing has survived, although she is not the earliest woman writer; that honor goes to Enheduanna , the daughter of Sargon, in Mesopotamia. Sappho lived on the island of Lesbos in the 600's BC Lesbos today She seems to have come from a fairly wealthy family , and she may have run a sort of school for girls in their early teens, just before they got married. She wrote short poems about how beautiful the girls were, and about how beautiful nature was, and about love. Most of these poems unfortunately survive only in pieces, where some of the words are missing. One of Sappho's poems goes like this: A troop of horse, the crowded ranks of marchers, A noble fleet - some think these of everything on earth Most beautiful. For me nothing else comes close To my beloved. To understand this is for all most simple, For in this same way, gazing much on mortal perfection And knowing already what life could give her

She had three brothers, Erigyius, Larichus and Charaxus, the eldest, who was a merchant. He sailed to Egypt with a cargo of wine. There he was involved with a local slavewoman named Doricha and purchased her freedom. Sappho disapproved the affair. She was more fond of the young Larichus; he poured the wine at council banquets.

She was born on the island of Lésvos, probably in Mitylene. Although the details of her life are lacking, it appears that she was of good family and was a contemporary of the lyric poets Alcaeus and Stesichorus. According to tradition, Alcaeus was her lover. Another legend holds that because of unrequited love for the young boatman Phaon she leaped to her death from a steep rock on the island of Levkás. She had a daughter named Cleïs and two brothers. The fragmentary remains of Sappho's poems indicate that she taught her art to a group of maidens, to whom she was devotedly attached and whose bridal odes she composed when they left her to be married. Later writers of antiquity, commenting upon the group, accused Sappho of immorality and vice, from which arose the modern terms for female homosexuality, “lesbianism” and “sapphism.”

The Love Songs Of Sappho Translated with An Essay by Paul Roche Introduction by Page duBois Called the "Tenth Muse" by the ancients, Greece's greatest female lyric poet Sappho (ca. 610-580 B.C.E.) spent the majority of her life on the famed island of Lesbos. Passionate and breathtaking, Sappho's poems survive only in fragments following religious conspiracies to silence her. Sappho penned immortal 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. Distinguished poet and lecturer Paul Roche's translation of The Love Songs of Sappho is enhanced with his brilliant essay, "Portrait of Sappho," as well as a lucid historical introduction by celebrated feminist and classicist Page duBois. 251 pages (notes, Illustrations) ISBN 1-57392-251-X Paper Return to Literary Classics List or New List

Main That's Dr. April 22, 2004 Why do women want to be philosophers? Part 3: Real men do metaphysics I want to pick up a comment made by Lisa Schwartzman in the first post of this series. Schwartzman, by the way, is a young social and political philosopher at Michigan State University, and a formidable critic of liberalism. She writes: Jason Stanley, lately of the University of Michigan, was the only person to respond directly to Lisa's comment. He writes: The arguments that [mainstream philosophical] subjects were gendered male (their technical nature, the aggressive way in which they were practiced) even when advanced by those allegedly representing feminist positions seemed to me to be dubious, and occasionally sexist to boot. In any case, the example of linguistics was always there staring me in the face. Furthermore, there were brilliant women in senior positions, who were getting less attention than they should have. This suggested to me then (and suggests to me now) that the issues have nothing to do with the nature of the subject matter or the way it was practiced. Jason says he's responding to a "strong reading" of Lisa's comment, but I think he misses the point of her comment, and I think what he says here is wrong. The implicit assumption that Jason is eager to rebut is that different fields of philosophy are "strongly gendered," to use Sally Haslanger's terminology. On such a view, things like metaphysics, epistemology, mind, and philosophy of science are somehow inherently masculine, and things like applied or normative ethics, moral psychology, and feminism are inherently feminine. A somewhat weaker claim would say that the former disciplines are more congenial (however that gets spelled out) to men and the latter are more congenial to women. I'm not sure what it means to say that a discipline is inherently masculine or feminine, but I will note that some very interesting philosophy has been done in exploring whether certain practices or norms are strongly gendered.

POEMS OF SAPPHO TRANSLATED BY JULIA DUBNOFF Immortal Aphrodite, on your intricately brocaded throne, child of Zeus, weaver of wiles, this I pray: with pains and sorrows. But come here, if ever before, when you heard my far-off cry, you listened. And you came, yoking your chariot of gold. Then beautiful swift sparrows led you over the black earth from the sky through the middle air, whirling their wings into a blur. Rapidly they came. And you, O Blessed Goddess, a smile on your immortal face, asked what had happened this time, why did I call again, and what did I especially desire for myself in my frenzied heart: to your love? Sappho, who is doing you wrong? For even if she flees, soon she shall pursue. And if she refuses gifts, soon she shall give them. Come to me now once again and release me from grueling anxiety. All that my heart longs for, Some say an army of horsemen, some of footsoldiers, some of ships, is the fairest thing on the black earth, but I say it is what one loves. to everyone, for Helen, by far surpassing mortals in beauty, left the best of all husbands and sailed to Troy

The Process of Buying Welcome to Sappho Estate on Lesvos Island Many of you who have visited Greece and her islands for holiday or business trip, at some point dream about the possibility of owning your own space under the Greek sun. Usually the reasons for dreaming about these possibilities are plenty. Life in Greece is relatively stress free and often quite rural, especially on the Greek Islands. Also the weather conditions are good as there is almost always sunshine, also in winter. And when you compare the prices for real estate at home with those here in Greece they usually turn out to be much lower, which makes owning a property or piece of land a very attractive investment for personal or business use. The market for buying real estate in Lesvos Island has, in the last few years, grown steadily. This is mainly due to the interest of foreign buyers in investing their money in properties and land abroad. Some invest their money and buy a second house abroad, others decide to give up their own properties at home and buy something in Greece so they can permanently settle or retire here.
