Poems by Sappho

1. Of the three poems, the one I liked most is probably Some Say thronging Calvalry because it talks about how Helen left everything cause the goddess seduced her.

2. In Some Say thronging Cavalry it talks about a goddess seducing helen and making her leave everone. In To Aphrodite of the Flower at Knossos it explains Aphrodite and a holy place of a sort and in He is more Than a Hero the author feels almost lovesick and weak.

3. The poems that applies to Sappho is He is more than a Hro and To Aphrodite of the flower at knossos because of the emotion they talk about and fellings like how her heart beats faster and tongue is broken and the other about horses grazing, wild flowers. I think these two are best applied by Sappho because she talks about her life, daugther and close friendship.

4. A singer I think that would do Sappho's poems justice is Beyonce because she sings with strong emotion and has a beautiful voice.
