In this overview of women writers of antiquity Snyder shows that we have far more evidence for for female literary endeavour than might be thought, analysing works by such authors as Myrtis, Korinna, Leonton, Theano, Hortensia and Egeria among many others, alongside the more famous Sappho.

In this book, two scholars join together to explore the musical life of ancient Greece, focusing on the Greek stringed instruments and, in particular, on the lyre family. This book is distinguished by the equal emphasis it gives to pictorial sources of information and to literary descriptions of the instruments in Greek poetry and drama.

This book examines Sappho's poetry through the lens of lesbian desire, focusing on the narrative voice that describes female experience and desires as primary, not secondary to the dominant male culture. Snyder discusses each of the major surviving fragments and the one complete poem and examines the different ways in which Sappho's lyrics focus on women's emotional lives with one another and how female erotic desire is portrayed. She challenges some traditional assumptions about Sappho, arguing that rather than imitating Homer, Sappho displays her inderpendence by transforming Homeric material for her own purposes. A translation is given for each, and, as well as the original Greek text, a transliteration into the Roman alphbet is given thus making the sound of the poetry accesible for those without any Greek. An epilogue discusses the influence of Sappho on a number of modern American women poets.
