HUM 300 - Classical Humanities March 1‚ 2013 Sappho’s poem‚ entitled Fragment 16‚ is of the lyrical style instead of the epic style we are used to in Homer’s Iliad. The lyrical style of poetry got its name because it was usually accompanied by a lyre while it was recited. It also was used to express more emotion rather than telling a story.

Among all of the academic disciplines‚ history stands as one of the most controversial. This is due to the inherently interpretive nature of the field‚ one that has long resulted in heated debates for many historians. As one would expect that the study of events long passed to be more firmly rooted in unchallengeable fact rather than disputable opinion‚ this presents a bit of quandary. To many‚ there appears to be little merit in making an effort to understand events that have been debated ad nauseam
