Lesbos, from Sappho to Elytis

Texts by P. Michailaris, K. Skambavias and P. Avyerinou.
English translation by Cox and Solman.
Lesbos means a sea of olive trees, impressive mountain scenery, water and rocks, calm bays and quaint harbours. It also means the works of man: mansions, towers, castles and villages, creations that do justice to this island of lyricism, with its wonderful sunsets and superb sunrises, an island which down the centuries has been a source of inspiration to writers and artists alike.
