This poem highlights various themes including the interplay of love and warfare, the significance of the poem's fragmented nature, and allusions to the story of Helen of Troy. Joe provides historical context on Sappho's life and the era she lived in (around 600 BCE in Lesbos), emphasizing her legacy in LGBTQ+ literature. They explore how Sappho's fragmented biography and extant works influence contemporary interpretations, noting the use of regular four-line stanzas and the voice of beauty and love.
The hosts analyse the first stanza of the poem, focusing on Sappho's contrarian tone and her distinct voice against the male-dominated tradition of the time. They discuss the implications of female agency, the poem's commentary on the consequences of choice, the enduring impact of Sappho's work on modern literature. The discussion also touches on controversial reinterpretations by male poets like Swinburne and Lowell, exploring how they often reduce Sappho to a mere sexualised figure.
Ending on a discussion of Sappho's evolving legacy and her impact on later literary traditions, the hosts invite listeners to continue the conversation and look forward to discussing Rudyard Kipling's 'If—' in the next episode.
