[158] V. 246. I give a literal translation and Greek texts of all epigrams which mention Sappho in Miller-Robinson, _Songs of Sappho_. [159] Cf. _A. J. P._, XXXVIII. 66 (1917). [160] Photius only cites the selections made by Sopater the Sophist, among which in his second book he included some quotations from Sappho’s eighth book. [161] _Vita dell’ Imperatore Alessio o Alesseide_, XV. [162] IV. 25. [163] His comment on Martial, VII. 67 is “Tribadem autem fuisse carmen indicat quod extat.” [164] There is an interesting item in Natales Comes, _Mythologiae sive explicationes fabularum_, Venice, 1551, Book V, c. XVI, p. 286, “Scriptum reliquit Sappho, Adonim mortuum fuisse a Venere inter lactucas depositum.” According to Athenaeus 69 d, Cratinus had Aphrodite conceal Phaon among the “fair wild-lettuces.” [165] In my library I have a copy dated 1696 of Anne Le Fèvre, _Les Poësies d’Anacréon et de Sapho_. This, however, is a second edition and the first was in 1681. [166] Welcker, _Kleine Schriften_: II, pp. 80 ff., _Sappho von einem herrschenden Vorurteil befreit_. Goethe occupied himself much with this article. For references in Goethe to Sappho cf. W. J. Keller, _Goethe’s Estimate of the Greek and Latin Writers_, Madison, Wis., 1916, p. 51. [167] Sauer, _Grillparzer’s sämtliche Werke_, Stuttgart, 1892, XIX, pp. 71 ff. For source of _Sappho_ cf. _J. Engl. Germ. Phil._, XXII, 503 ff. (1923). [168] Cf. Jean Giraud, _D’Après Sapho. Variations sur un thème éternel_, in _Revue d’Histoire littéraire de la France_, XXVII, 1920, pp. 194-203. I have added considerable material not there, since this article deals only with the second ode. I am indebted in this chapter to my learned colleagues, Professor Henry Carrington Lancaster and Professor Gilbert Chinard, for helpful suggestions. [169] _Traduction de quelques autres epigrammes Grecs, Œuvres de Ronsard_, Tome 2, Paris, 1889, p. 56. [170] The date is often wrongly given as 1682. In my copy, which is a second edition (Lyon 1696), it is stated that permission to publish the book was granted to Damoiselle Anne Le Fèvre on June 10, 1681, all rights to continue for six years. “Le dit livre a esté achevé d’imprimer pour la première fois le 1, Decembre 1681.” My copy gives only the first two odes and the epigrams on Pelagon and Timas and quotes an inaccurate Latin prose translation of the first ode by her father. He has made several emendations, as in ode II, l. 7, ὡς βρόγχον, “nihil vocis pervenit ad fauces meas,” as good a suggestion as Edmonds’ creation of an unknown proper name Brocheo. [171] Cf. _Œuvres de Fontenelle_ (Paris 1818), II, pp. 187, 188. [172] My copy is the thirteenth edition published by Bertrand, Paris, 1818. The idea of a manuscript of Sappho found at Herculaneum is repeated by Lucy Milburn and Percy Mackaye.
