Pickpick

This book was incredibly interesting, and accessible and easy to read even if you haven't studied classics. (As a classics student I spotted a few things that could have been more nuanced, but for newcomers that's not important enough to go into.) I read it in only a few days. This makes you appreciate not only Sappho, but all ancient Greek women. 4🌟

I-read-and-eat Great review! I am a classics student too and was worried it might be to 'popular' in style and statements so I didn't buy it. But now I will get it anyway 😊 8y
sneirr @I-read-and-eat I hope you enjoy it! 8y
