This lecture pr esents a reassessment of Sappho on the basis of

(1) the newest fra gments that have just recently been published, including the so-called “ Brothers Song”

and

(2) what we know about the history of the reception of Sappho in Lesbos, her native island, and, later, in Athens .

An essential aspect of this reception is the tradition of perfor ming the songs of Sappho in the context of

(A) choral and sympotic performance in Lesbos

and

(B) sympotic and citharodic perfo rmance in Athens.

In the sympotic and the citharodic contexts, it is argued, the songs of Sappho have undergone variations that transcend< /p>

what had once been a primarily choral context. But one feature rem ains invariable: the role of Sappho as a virtuoso singer.
