Colophon reads: Sappho (c. 630 - 570 BCE) is the only woman counted among the Nine Lyric Poets revered in ancient Greek culture. Plato called her "the tenth muse," but all that remains of her work is a handful of fragments. This quote is an excerpt from Fragment 58, a mysterious Old Age Poem that can be read either as a lament or a celebration of mortality. Illustrated by Chandler O'Leary and printed by Jessica Spring, in hopes that all women might see themselves both with Aphrodite's gaze and Athena's wisdom.
