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.
