ABSTRACT
Charaxus, Sappho's eldest brother, had bought and married at Naucratis in Egypt a beautiful slave courtezan named Doricha. Herodotus, who calls her Rhodõpis, Rosycheeks, tells us (ii, 135) that Sappho scolded him (or her, iKeprófirjaé fiw, see also Athen. xiii, 596 B. Compare Ovid, Heroid. 63 and 117).
