So where is it? At 101 words we can read it for ourselves without someone else telling me how beautiful it is

[Ghost of Philip Marlowe]

From the oeuvre of Sappho's poetry that have been passed down to us, no one in their right mind would call her a great poet. We have only one complete poem and fragments. This latest find makes two poems. And those after classical antiquity that did praise her as a muse, based their judgment on how others praised her poetry.

Her fame as a poet is largely based on hearsay. Some critics and others among the literati are perfectly happy placing her among the best poets of all times with little to no evidence. When it comes to critiquing a poet, I have to rank myself among the evidentialists.

Do you read ancient Greek?

The Greek wouldn't mean anything to you.
