Sappho of Lesbos, translation, gender, sexualityAbstract
The purpose of this article is to reappraise one of the most famous Sappho's songs (VIII–VII BCE), the fragment 31, focusing on two precise aspects: the gender marks of the poetic voice and that of the characters portrayed by this voice in intersection with the perspectives of reading related to the manifestations of érōs expressed in this composition. To argue for the importance of the above aspects, I make a brief comment about some of the most frequent directions of interpretation of this fragment, as well as present and comment on two of its translations, made in French. Finally, and to the same end, I present and comment on five recent Brazilian translations.
