【文章內容簡介】 ho ? Born c. 630 , an aristocrat who married a prosperous merchant called Cercolas (had one daughter called Cleis). ? 7th Century . Lesbos was a cultural centre. ? Sappho did travel throughout Greece, but spent most of her life on island of Lesbos itself. ? Sappho essentially lived a life of leisure, surrounded by the many women whom she educated (in music and poetry) and to whom she wrote romantic poems (when they were to be married, Sappho also wrote her students’ wedding songs). ? Sappho’s poetry is ‘lyrical’ because it was sung to music on an instrument called the lyre. ? Lyrical has e to mean any poetry that concerns intimate, individual responses to the world written musicalsounding language (melodic). ? Lyric does not involve the grand stories or narratives of epic poetry nor is it motivated usually by consideration of the Gods (which much epic poetry involves). ? Sappho was greatly appreciated in her own lifetime. The Greek philosopher Plato elevated her from the status of great lyrical poet to one of the Muses: the immortal figures of inspiration (she was honoured throughout Greece as the 10th ‘mortal Muse’) ? Much of her work only exists in fragments, however, because the later Christian Church (with its authorities in both Constantinople and Rome) ordered her ‘lesbian’ love poetry to be burnt. ? We have only one twentieth of what Sappho is thought to have written ? These fragments came from late 19th Century archaeological discoveries in places such as Egypt where Sappho’s work was not destroyed (the Egyptians were not a Christian culture and were not troubled by poems written by a woman in praise of women). 影響 薩福往往給自己的詩歌譜上曲調，供人吟詠彈唱。在技巧上，她創(chuàng)立了“薩福體”，改革了當時詩歌創(chuàng)作的韻律；在內容上，她與其他詩人一起，把詠唱的對象由神轉向人，用第一人稱抒發(fā)個人的哀樂，領當時文學創(chuàng)作風氣之先。千百年來，薩福被人們視為描寫女性愛情的圣人、“女性主義者的偶像”“化身為文學家的羅蕾萊”(羅蕾萊是德國民間文學中傳說的女妖)。馬丁威斯特稱她是“學者繞不過去的坎”。 當時很多希臘女子慕名來到萊斯波斯島，拜在其門下學習詩藝。薩福不僅教她們知識，還寫了很多表達對她們強烈愛慕的詩作。在當時，古希臘盛行師生之間帶著強烈精神交往的戀情，薩福的帶著強烈同性戀情感的詩歌，廣為傳唱。當時萊斯波斯島上的貨幣，都以薩福頭像為圖案。從19世紀末開始，薩福成為了女同性戀的代名詞，“Lesbian”(意為女同性戀者)與形容詞“Sapphic”等，均源于薩福。而由此，薩福也被近現(xiàn)代女性主義者和女同性戀者奉為鼻祖。 評價
