In Loving Tribute to Sappho: Greek Anthology VII.15 & VII.16

1)

Nomen mihi Sappho: tantumque superavi cantu

mulieres, viros quantum superavit Maeonides.

 

οὔνομά μευ Σαπφώ. τόσσον δ᾽ ὑπερέσχον ἀοιδὰν

θηλειᾶν, ἀνδρῶν ὅσσον ὁ Μαιονίδας.

 

My name is Sappho. I excel women in song, just as Homer excels men in song.

 

--Antipater, Greek Anthology VII.15; Translated into Latin by Friedrich Duebner

 

 

2)

Ossa quidem et mutum tumulus habet nomen Sapphus,

docta vero eius carmina sunt immortalia.

 

ὀστέα μὲν καὶ κωφὸν ἔχει τάφος οὔνομα Σαπφοῦς:

αἱ δὲ σοφαὶ κείνης ῥήσιες ἀθάνατοι.

 

This tomb holds the silent name and bones of Sappho;

But her wise words are immortal.

 

--Pinytus, Greek Anthology VII.16; Translated into Latin by Friedrich Duebner
