He was a charming tyrant, and being himself the slave of what he found most beautiful in art and in things, he had a marvelous gift for imposing his own gods and his own idols.
The most famous of them all, Claude Debussy, found in Pierre Louÿs support, counsel, even instruction or essential insights into literature - in short, the invaluable mainstay of his career in all its aspects, at all times, in all its difficulties, even those of fame.
Pierre suffered at being reduced to the sort of character which both parties so naively saw in him.

 Pierre LOUYS
Je crois bien que sans Pierre Louÿs, j’aurais continué de vivre à l’écart, en sauvage.
Pierre est blond de chevelure et de moustache, beau, timide, perspicace, érudit, riche (à 22 ans, il hérite de son père en 1892).
C’est la quatrième biographie de Louys que je consulte sur le net et qui oublie son fameux " Manuel de civilité pour les petites filles à l’usage des maisons d’éducation ".

 Pierre Louÿs (1870 - 1925)
Pierre Louÿs is better known nowdays for his friendships rather than his own poetry: he was one of the composer Claude Debussy's closest friends, he travelled with André Gide, he attended Mallarme's soirees, and campaigned for Oscar Wilde's release from prison.
From a chance encounter on the stairway with a voluptuous young girl, the narrator is drawn to become the plaything of four rapacious females, experiencing them all in various combinations of increasingly wild debauchery, until they one day vanish as mysteriously as they had appeared.
Described by Susan Sontag as one of the few works of the erotic imagination to deserve true literary status, The She Devils remains Pierre Lous' most intense, claustrophobic work; a study of sexual obsession and monomania unsurpassed in its depictions of carnal excess, unbridled lust and limitless perversity.

 Pierre Louys - Perlentaucher.de, Kultur und Literatur Online
Pierre Louys (1870-1925) wuchs als Sohn einflussreicher Eltern in Paris auf.
Er befreundete sich mit den kreativen Größen seiner Zeit, unter anderen mit Gide, Valery und Debussy, Oscar Wilde widmete ihm gar seine "Salome".
Kein Thema hat Pierre Louys mehr interessiert als das ungeklärte Verhältnis zwischen den Geschlechtern, und nichts sezierte er mit größerer Lust und Virtuosität als das Verhältnis im Extrem, in der Obsession.

 Pierre Louys, The Songs of Bilitis
Louys was a fin de siècle author, who took great delight in using classical subjects to shock the bourgeoisie; his most famous essay in this direction was the novel
There are, however, many translations of Sappho, which are more complete, not translated from French, and altogether less embarrassing to buy and be seen reading (Barnard's is particularly good).
There Louys gives the life of Bilitis, the story of the discovery of the poems, and a summary of various scholarly squabbles about them, complete with ponderous Teutonic titles and

Pierre Louÿs, Les Chansons de Bilitis, and the Queered Lyric Voice
Published in 1894, Les Chansons de Bilitis presents itself as the French translation by Pierre Louÿs (pen name of Pierre-Félix Louis) of texts engraved on the walls of a tomb on Cyprus.
Within this nexus of influences we see the imbrication of Classical Studies and queer identity; fortunately for us, this is an instance of vice speaking (in French, if not in ancient Greek).

Pierre Louys nasce il 10 dicembre 1870 a Gand e muore a Parigi il 5 giugno 1925.
Condotto a Parigi fanciullo, vi aveva frequentato la Scuola Alsaziana Protestante, poi la Sorbona, e vi rimase, legandosi d'amicizia particolarmente con André Gide, che era stato suo compagno di scuola, e con Paul Valery.
Fra le sue opere, le più note rimangono le Canzoni di Bilitis che furono musicate da Debussy, e il romanzo d'ambientazione spagnola La donna e il burattino dal quale il regista Von Sternberg ricavò un suo celebre film interpretato da Marlene Dietrich.

If you don't know, it was written by Pierre Louys who claimed he had found the lost works Bilitis in 1894.
In the late 1890's this book was published as an ancient and recently unearthed work written by a disciple of Sappho, but it was really written by a young French erotic photographer/poet named Pierre Louys.
But despite Louys' deception, these poems are very nice, worth reading if you enjoy ancient love poetry with slight lesbian undertones.
