ABSTRACT
Supposed answer by Sappho O golden-thronèd Muse, Teach me that song to use, That the old poet sung, A bard of glorious tongue, From Teos* noble strand, Of all fair maids the land.
6 From Hermesianax in his Elegiacs 290 B.C. ; Edm.,
Cf. Plut., Symp. vii, 8, 2 (MS.). Athenaeus : In these verses (Pieces 5 and 6) Hermesianax
is mistaken in thinking that Sappho and Anacreon were contemporaries.
