| Are you looking for love poems? If so, you will really enjoy The Poems of Sappho: An Interpretative Rendition into English. While very little remains of Sappho's poetry, existing fragments suggest that she had a romantic interest in those of her own sex. Her poems are written as words spoken from one person to another and speak about the joys and difficulties of romantic love. A distinction was not made in ancient Greece between homosexual and heterosexual relationships. Nevertheless, the terms “sapphic” and “lesbian”, both of which refer to same-sex female attraction, were inspired by Sappho's life and work. Sappho has had an enduring reputation as a lyric poet across the centuries. In modern times, she has come to be known as a great lesbian poet, and her work is enjoyed by many both within and outside the LGBTQ community. The audiobook includes the following poems and fragments of Sappho: Sapphics The Muses Love’s Banquet Moon and Stars Ode to Anactoria The Rose Ode to Aphrodite Summer The Garden of the Nymphs Aphrodite’s Doves Anacreon’s Song The Daughter of Cyprus The Distaff The Sleep Wind Long Ago Epithalamia Threnodes Bridal Song Pieria’s Rose The Stricken Flower Death Persephone Erotika Dithyrambs Hymn to Paphia Eros Passion Aphrodite’s Praise The First Kiss Ode to Atthis Comparison The Sacrifice Leda The Love of Selene Larichus Spring Girl Friends Prelude Andromeda Euneica Gorgo Mnasidica Telesippa Gyrinno Megara Erinna Gongyla Damophyla Anagora Phaon Philomel Golden Pulse The Swallow Tidings Hesperus Dawn The Farewell Dark-Eyed Sleep The Cliff of Leucas |
