Title
Sappho's "Hymn to Aphrodite"
Description
Typescript of a lecture delivered by Jonathan Tuck as part of the Graduate Institute Summer Lecture Series.
Mr. Tuck is a Tutor emeritus at St. John's College Annapolis. His talk consists of three parts: (1) a short introduction to Sappho, her dialect and her meter; (2) reading, translating and parsing the poem rather hastily, for the benefit of those with some Greek but not a lot; (3) some reflections on the form of the poem and how it works on us.
