Sappho : Ein Trauerspiel in fünf Aufzügen by Franz Grillparzer
"Sappho: Ein Trauerspiel in fünf Aufzügen" by Franz Grillparzer is a tragedy written in 1818. The play dramatizes the ancient Greek poet Sappho's doomed love for the young Phaon, who prefers her slave Melitta. Caught between earthly desire and artistic calling, Sappho misreads innocence as betrayal. Grillparzer blends classical simplicity with modern passion, exploring the conflict between poetic genius and worldly happiness. This elegantly crafted work examines whether the spiritually gifted can
reconcile their higher mission with human longing. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
