It is said that 90% of her poems are lost, some due to the fact that they were not written down immediately (for her world didn't write much, and memorising song-poems was more likely) of those that were written down, the wrecks of time destroyed (fire, war, changing attitudes etc.). Most of the myths connected to her are just that - she probably died in normal manner, in old age. She was much praised by Ancient Greek/Roman world, which in part secured some poems from completely disappearing. Sappho was a poet-singer from Mytilene, Lesbos, though she spent some exile years in Sicily for political reasons (that is, what side her family had been on). Further dividing is done by theme, which I thinks clears things a lot. The poems are from almost-whole to short sentences, and the left-side notes also comments on some loose words that are attached to some after the main text (words or parts of words). There are commentaries to each of the fragments, on the left-side page. I already have a book of her poems, but I'm glad I bought this, since it has new fragments included (the newest being from 2013, which was added to this book's 2015 print in the appendix).
