Sappho is a towering figure in Western culture. Her reception has a vital history of more than two thousand years. Yet, the 'receptions EL of Sappho in Antiquity have until recently been underexplored' (Sappho-expert Yatromanolakis). This volume takes new steps in scholarship by focusing on Sappho's influence on Roman authors. Strikingly, the richest part of Sappho's Roman reception coincides with the golden age of Latin literature. Consequently, the present
volume explores not only a critical phase in Sappho's reception history, namely that of ancient Rome, but also central Latin texts, which have had great influence on post-classical cultures, up until today.
