Poems by Sappho

1. The poem i understood best was the second one called: He Is More Than a Hero. the reason why i understood it was because she was explaining how he makes her weak when she she's him, and how her heart beats fast when he laughs, and how her body shivers when they touch. How she can't speak when he is near her and she grows paler than she ever has before.

3.The way she feels incomplete with out Anactoria, how she reminds her of her sparkling glance and the way she steps, which she admires. The speaker feels about the second poem; how she lusts for him even know she is breathless when she comes in contact. The setting described in: To Aphrodite of the Flowers, at Knossos was nature. How their surrounded by flowers, trees and herbs.

4. Two statements that best apply to Sappho would be: she values intimate moments of friendship. Also, she appreciates the beauty of nature.

6. I think Keisha Cole or Mariah would do Sappho's poems justice if they were set to music. I think they would be able to really make the poems to the best ever. Every one would be
singing these lyrics word by word.
