Sappho : Viisinäytöksinen murhenäytelmä by Franz Grillparzer
"Sappho: Viisinäytöksinen murhenäytelmä" by Franz Grillparzer is a tragedy written in 1818. Based on the ancient Greek poet Sappho, the play explores her unrequited love for the youth Phaon, who she believes prefers her slave Melitta. Neither will listen to Melitta's pleas of innocence or her desire to return home. The drama examines the conflict between artistic genius and earthly happiness, depicting the renunciation imposed upon poets by their higher calling. Combining
modern passion with classical simplicity, it explores poetic nature's struggle with reality. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
