THE ANCIENT GREEK POETS HOMER AND SAPPHO ARE PRESENT AT THIS MEGA POETRY EVENT

To Sophy Chen & Sophy Chen’s Translation World Poetry Yearbook 2021

By [Greece] Roula Pollard
English-Chinese Translated By Sophy Chen From China

Poetry functions creatively in the collective memory of nations. The Father of Poetry in the western world is recognized as Homer, the author of the Iliad and the Odyssey while the Mother of Poetry or the Tenth Muse in ancient Greek poetry is the poetess Sappho.

To celebrate the launching of Sophy Chen’s Translation of the World Poetry Yearbook 2021, it is as if we had been joined by the presence of both Homer and Sappho, who have so much in common with the World Poetry Yearbook 2021.

Homer was the international star of his day, circa 1.000- 800 BC, visiting the city states of Ancient Greece reciting his poems by heart. We can imagine the hours and days spent on the road and how he enthralled his audiences and crowds of listeners., hearing the Iliad for the very first time. His main theme was a campaign against war led by the Iliad, and then contrasting the value placed on family life with the Odyssey. With these two works Homer transformed Poetry making it a true lesson for the citizens of the then known world. He truly became the Father of Poetry, writing and composing in a unique idiom and with a unique style built on the unrivalled quality of Ancient Greek at a level not previously experienced. This presupposes that Poetry was cultivated before him but not to the outstanding extend that Homer built it up.

This is the parallel between Homer and Sophy Chen’s Translation of the World Poetry Yearbook 2021. Sophy’s is a Poetry Anthology of 691 poets translated into Chinese or English, from 63 national dialects. The magnitude of this poetic work addresses the world in its two most powerful languages, Chinese and English. This is a mega task with the the world speaking poetry and addressing the main issues of todays’ world which can be summarized as Love and Peace. Climate change now hangs over mankind, like a sword of Damoclese . Poetry has become more relevant than at any time in human history.

The other visitor to this mega event organized by Sophy Chen, should of course be Sappho who introduced and composed lyrical poetry. This gave women an opportunity for the first time, to speak up for themselves after long years of war. Sapho also gave a clear message to the women of her time ‘Women exist too’, and are a vital part of society. Female affection contrasted strongly with the deeds of male heroes in the Trojan Wars.

The Translation of Sophy Chen’s World Poetry Yearbook 2021 sets new standards in Poetry as both Homer and Sappho did in classical times. Her inspiration sets a new landmark with translations from 691 poets. She employs new ways of presenting poetry to the world. Both Homer and Sappho, as Poetry’s representatives from classical times would be honoured to be mentioned in this presentation of Sophy Chen’s Translation of the World Poetry Yearbook 2021.

Thank you Sophy for your achievement in creating this major work, which will delight the world of both poetry and translation.

古希腊诗人荷马和萨福出席了这个大型诗歌活动

——写给《苏菲译·世界诗歌年鉴2021卷》全球新书发布会

作者：[希腊] 罗拉·波拉德
英译汉：苏菲

诗歌在民族的集体记忆中具有创造性作用。西方世界公认的“诗歌之父”是《伊利亚特》和《奥德赛》的作者荷马，而“诗歌之母”是古希腊诗歌的第十女神萨福。
为了庆祝苏菲翻译的《苏菲译·世界诗歌年鉴2021卷》新书发布会，我们仿佛邀请到了与《苏菲翻译·世界诗歌年鉴2021卷》有许多共同点的荷马和萨福。

荷马是他那个时代的国际明星，大约在公元前1000 - 800年。他参观古希腊城邦，背诵他的诗。我们可以想象他在路上花了多少时间，当人们第一次听到《伊利亚特》的时候，他是如何让他的观众和成群的听众着迷的。他的主题是以《伊利亚特》为主导的反对战争的运动，然后将《奥德赛》与对家庭生活的重视进行了对比。荷马用这两部作品改变了诗歌，使诗歌成为当时已知世界公民的一个真正意义上的教科书。他成为真正意义上的诗歌之父，以独特的习语和独特的风格进行写作和创作，这种风格建立在古希腊无与伦比的品质上，达到了前所未有的水平。这就意味着，在他之前，诗歌是被培养出来的，但并没有达到荷马所创作的那种杰出程度。
这就是荷马和苏菲翻译的《苏菲译·世界诗歌年鉴2021卷》之间的相似之处。《苏菲译·世界诗歌年鉴2021卷》是一本收录了63个国家方言，691位诗人诗歌作品的中英文诗集。这部诗作的宏大之处是用世界上两种最强大的语言——汉语和英语来表达的。这是一个宏大的工程，可以用爱与和平来概括，和世界一起谈诗歌，解决当今世界的主要问题。气候变化就像达摩克利斯之剑，悬在人类头上。诗歌比人类历史上任何时候都更有意义。

此次由苏菲主办的大型活动的另一位嘉宾，当然应该是萨福，她介绍，并创作了抒情诗。多年的战争之后， 抒情诗首次给了女性机会，她们用诗歌为自己说话。萨福还向当时的女性传达了一个明确的信息: “女性也存在”，并且是社会的重要组成部分。特洛伊战争中，女性的感情与男性的英雄事迹形成了鲜明的对比。
《苏菲译·世界诗歌年鉴2021卷》英汉对照的翻译版本为诗歌树立了新的标准，就像荷马和萨福在古希腊所做的那样。苏菲用诗歌翻译精神为691位诗人树立了新的里程碑。她用新的方式向世界呈现诗歌。荷马和萨福作为古典时期诗歌的代表，将很荣幸地在《苏菲译·世界诗歌年鉴2021卷》中被提及。

谢谢你，苏菲，你在创作这部重要的作品中所取得的成就，将为诗歌和翻译界带来欢乐。
