Ce livre présente une édition critique de l'Ode 2 de Sappho, un poème grec antique qui célèbre une compétition de poésie entre la chanteuse de Lesbos et le poète Stesichore. Les trois dernières strophes du poème ont été perdues, mais cet ouvrage les reconstitue à partir de deux fragments découverts récemment. Le texte est accompagné d'une introduction historique et d'un commentaire détaillé qui situent le poème dans son contexte social et culturel.
