Sappho: Viisinäytöksinen Murhenäytelmä

Franz Grillparzer

1819

Classics of Literature, German Literature, Plays/Films/Dramas

Translated by Veikko Antero Koskenniemi

A dramatic work written in the early 20th century. The story revolves around Sappho, the legendary ancient Greek poetess, and her relationships with characters such as Phaon and Melitta. This tragedy explores themes of love, betrayal, and the struggles of artistic identity, set against the backdrop of Sappho's triumphs and heartaches. The opening of the play introduces a celebratory atmosphere as Sappho returns to her homeland after winning a poetic competition. The scene is vibrant with her supporters, and she is greeted with love and admiration. Among the characters introduced are her servant Melitta and the handsome Phaon, who captures Sappho's attention. As Sappho's excitement intertwines with hints of jealousy and foreboding, the stage is set for unfolding drama that delves into Sappho's complex emotional landscape and impending conflict with her beloved and among her peers.
