Poems of Sappho (Unicode)
126 chapters English Public domain
About this book
This is a version of the ISTA Sappho poetry collection with the Greek text displayed in Unicode. Note that final sigmas are written as medials (all sigmas were lunate sigmas in the source text, but I decided to 'modernize' the orthography slightly). This version also corrects some transcription errors in the original etext, which has not been altered at this point. The introduction has also been updated slightly.
