Classical poetry with phrases I'd translated about love (10)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

rhapsodies

'classical poetry' is the definition.
(rhapsody is a type of ancient Greek poem)

'phrases i'd translated about love' is the wordplay.
'translated' indicates anagramming the letters.
'about' is an insertion indicator.
'love' becomes 'o' (love means zero in tennis).
'phrases'+'id'='phrasesid'
'phrasesid' is an anagram of 'rhapsdies'.
'rhapsdies' enclosing 'o' is 'RHAPSODIES'.

'with' is the link.

(Another definition for rhapsodies that I've seen is " poems?".)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
