Sappho's Leap - Erica Jong
£11.99
Sappho’s leap is a journey back 2,600 years to inhabit the mind of the greatest love poet the world has ever known. At the age of 14 Sappho is seduced by the beautiful poet Alcaeus and plots with him to overthrow the dictator of their island. When they caught, she is married off to a repellant older man in hopes that matrimony will keep her out of trouble. Instead, it starts her off on a series of amorous adventures with both men and women, taking her from Delphi to Egypt, and even to the land of Amazons and the shadowy realm of Hades.
Complemented by Erica Jong's new translations of Sappho's fragments, as well as nine of the author's own poems about the epic poet who shaped all of our understandings of poetic verse, Sappho's Leap is not to be missed.
