Aoidoi.org: Sappho 16

Post by annis »

Inspired by mingshey's recent question on the opening strophe, I have worked up the entire poem. Well, the parts of it that survive.

Sappho 16

τίς πατέρ' αἰνήσει εἰ μὴ κακοδαίμονες υἱοί;

Annis -

Was wondering if you'd be so kind as to oblige us with your own personal translation.

Please do!

I'm afraid my natural translation style is the worst OHT (Old High Translationese). Sappho deserves better than that.
