THE POEMS OF SAPPHO

Aphrodite. It is from the Scholiast on Aristophanes’ “Peace,” 1174; Pollux about A.D. 180 also mentions it.


20

Παντοδάπαις μεμιγμέ-
-να χροίαισιν.


Shot with innumerable hues.


Quoted by the Scholiast on Apollonius of Rhodes, i, 727. Sappho’s reference may be to the rainbow.


21

Ἔμεθεν δ᾽ ἔχεισθα λάθαν.

Thou forgettest me.


22

Ἤ τιν᾽ ἄλλον
[μᾶλλον] ἀνθρώπων ἔμεθεν φίλησθα.


Or lovest another more than you do me.


Both from Apollonius to show the Aeolic ἔμεθεν for ἐμού.
