Description
Sappho is a towering figure in Western culture. This volume takes new steps in scholarship by focusing on Sappho's influence on Roman authors, and explores not only a critical phase in Sappho's reception history, namely that of ancient Rome, but also central Latin texts, which have had great influence on post-classical cultures, up until today.
