Sappho performance at Stanford
"We thank Dianne de Laet for her ravishingly beautiful Sappho presentation last night. She reminded what a mesmorizing treasure we still have in Sapphon thanks in part to what the Hellenistic world preserved at Alexandria for a millenium despite what huge majority was lost seemingly forever. Dianne made us feel as if Sappho herself appeared before us last night." --- Professor Patrick Hunt, Stanford University. March 15, 2011.
