These surviving pieces are beautiful even in (and sometimes because of) their incomplete state…. Enough to say that what do exist are fragments of the original poems preserved on bits of decaying papyrus. There are reasons for this and scholars who are more qualified to speak on the subject than I am. 630-570 B.C., the earliest woman to have her work was translated into English? She was much admired in antiquity, the woman whom Plato called “the tenth muse”, but notwithstanding the immensity of her reputation very little of her work has survived intact.
