Sappho, a Greek lyric poet who died circa 570 BC, was greatly admired by her contemporaries, but today only a handful of her poems survive.
Now two new works by Sappho have been identified after the owner of an ancient papyrus consulted Oxford classicist, Dr Dirk Obbink, about the significance of the document.
