The Gods In Greek Poetry: Comparing The Iliad To The Poems Of Sappho.
This paper compares The Iliad to Sappho's works, mostly to the "Hymn to Aphrodite" which is her only known complete work. The paper points out differences between the portrayal of the gods and goddesses in Homer's epic and Sappho's poems, particularly that Homer's gods are more like mortal characters, and that Sappho's appeal comes out of a frustration with the vagueness of love, not from an actual belief that Aphrodite will divinely change her luck in romance. 4 pgs.
