In it, the author and poet Anne Carson translates all of Sappho’s work, beginning with the single complete poem (“Deathless Aphrodite of the spangled mind…”), continuing with fragments long and short, then short passages quoted by other authors of the time, and concluding with single words saved from bits of crumbling papyrus: channel, dawn, downrushing, danger, honeyvoiced, mythweaver.

Głównym wątkiem spajającym fabułę pierwszej części Trylogii uczynił pisarz burzliwe dzieje miłości odważnego rycerza bez skazy – Jana Skrzetuskiego i urodziwej, niewinnej szlachcianki – Heleny Kurcewiczówny, którzy rozdzieleni przez wrogów i przeciwności losu, przeżywają liczne perypetie. W czarno-biały schemat wpisani zostali także – wbrew prawdzie historycznej – przywódcy walczących stron. Jednoznacznie negatywną kwalifikację moralną przypisał Sienkiewicz zbuntowanym Kozakom, przedstawionym jako żądni krwi barbarzyńcy, zaś Polaków przedstawił jako odważnych obrońców ojczyzny i prawych, przestrzegających rycerskiego kodeksu żołnierzy.
