"Sappho, the poetess of Lesbos, famous for her verses and for her lovers, looks back over her past, her life in Ereses on Lebos, in Mytilene and in Syracuse, the endless political intrigues, her dedication to Aphrodite. She tells her own story, vital, passionate, unaware of guilt. Through her Mr. Green creates the complex turbulent world of the seventh century B.C. and shows us with memorable skill not Sappho as the stiff figure of questionable legend but as a living woman. ".
