Scholars have for centuries set aside one perplexing poem inexplicably written in Spartan dialect from the Ennead, the nine books authored by Sappho. Why Sappho kept this poem in her collection has never been explained. Sappho had among her students a girl named Mnasidika, a Spartan name that means, 'In Remembrance of Justice'. Another translated restoration of a little-known poem of Sappho's, shredded by the early Church and left in fragments because of its "offensive" subject matter revealed a haunting tale of "immortal lovers".
Join the unique first-person narrative of Mnasidika of Sparta as she recounts the latter days of Sappho of Lesbos, revealing the famous poetess' deepest, darkest secret--about the part the Poetess of Mytilene played in the court intrigues, political upheavals and assassination plots of her youth.
