Searching for Sappho

4.25 ⭐

As there is actually not much known about Sappho, a large portion of the work is speculation and contextualization. However, this contextualization paints a colorful background where we can try to draw inferences about the lives of which we don't usually learn much about when discussing ancient Greece - the women. Freeman is well researched and offers content that brings to life what have left of the works of Sappho.
