[64] My late colleague and dear friend, Kirby Flower Smith, made a brilliant reconstruction of the story which he read several times in public. It is to be deeply regretted that the manuscript has never been printed. Cf. for the Menander fragment, F. G. Allinson’s _Menander_, in _The Loeb Classical Library_, pp. 400-401. For fragments of Plato’s _Phaon_, cf. Kock, _C. A. F._, I, p. 645. Cf. Servius on Virgil, _Aeneid_, III. 274. [65] Lucian for example, _Dialogues of the Dead_, 9, has Phaon carry Aphrodite over in his boat from Chios. [66] _Incred._, 49 in Apostolius, _Paroem._, II. 707. [67] 596 b; “according to Nymphis in his _Voyage around Asia_, the courtesan of Eresus who was a namesake of the other Sappho and lover of the fair Phaon won great notoriety.” Cf. also Suidas, s. v. _Phaon_. [68] Cf. Furtwängler-Reichhold, _Gr. Vas._, pl. 59; Milani, _Monumenti scelti del R. Museo Arch. di Firenze_, pl. 3; Nicole, _Meidias_, pl. VI, I. Cf. also on Phaon, Wilamowitz, _Sappho und Simonides_, pp. 33 ff. [69] 69 d. [70] Strabo, 452. [71] Cf. Curtis, _A. J. A._, XXIV. 146 ff. (1920); Paribeni, _Boll. d’Arte_, I. 104 (1921); F. Cumont, _Rassegna d’Arte_, VIII. 44 ff. (1921); Leopold, _Mélanges d’Archéologie et d’Histoire_, XXXIX. pl. II. 181 ff. (1921); _Le Musée Belge_, XXVII. 15 ff. (1923), there connected by Hubaux with the cult of the Thracian Cotyto. _Cf. Memoirs Am. Ac. in Rome_, IV. 85 f., pl. XLV. [72] For another version cf. G. Showerman’s _Ovid_ in _The Loeb Classical Library_. A new translation by Marion Mills Miller, where the narrative portions are in recitative and the frequent outbursts of emotion in lyrical form, appears in Miller-Robinson, _The Songs of Sappho_. [73] Countless translations have been made. Among a few, I mention Philips (1711), Herbert (1713), Akenside’s paraphrase (1745), Fawkes (1760), Merivale (1833), Elton (1814), Egerton (1815), Edinburgh Review (1832), Palgrave (1854), Arnold (1869), Higginson (1871), Walhouse (1877), Symonds (at least two versions), Swinburne, Thomas Davidson, Marion Mills Miller (in _The Classics_ and also in his play _The Return of Odysseus_, p. 82), Appleton, Fairclough (_The Raven_, V, 1904, p. 120), Easby Smith, Stobart (_The Glory that was Greece_, p. 119), Lawton, Tucker, Petersen, Lawrence (_Classical Review_, XXXVI, 1922, p. 2), Edmonds, William A. Drake (_Sewanee Review_, April 1923). [74] στροῦθοι in l. 10 are birds of Venus, swans, or better doves, rather than the dirty chatterers of our city streets, who never appear in Greek art. Cf. Throop, _Wash. Univ. Studies_, IX 282 (1922); Aristophanes, _Lysistrata_, 723 f.; Statius, _Silvae_, I. 2. Edmonds p. 183 reads the dual and translates “thy two swans.” For swans drawing Aphrodite’s or Cupid’s car, cf. Reinach, _Répertoire des Vases Peints_, I, pp. 57, 271. [75] _Dem._, 38.
