Summary

Chapter 12 of The Cambridge Companion to Sappho discusses Sappho’s poetic persona and its relationship to a putative historical figure; it exploits the material so fruitful in the biographical tradition from another angle, to illuminate the character types and roles constructed within Sappho’s poems and how they help to authorise the poet and engage her audience.
