Description
‘About Sappho’ introduces you to Sappho, one of the most influential poets of ancient Greece. You’ll also hear about the Trojan War, and how Sappho’s poetry relates to it. You’ll hear about ancient music, and about how Sappho’s poetry was interpreted to reveal the tune that it would have been sung to in ancient times. This short documentary is for anyone to enjoy, and it's perfect for teachers looking for classroom materials covering poetry, art history, lesbian icons, and classical civilisation (especially for UK Key Stage 4-5).
‘About Sappho’ is a companion piece to the vase animation ‘Sappho 44: Hector and Andromache – A Wedding at Troy’.
