104, Irradiantly scattered

SAPPHO

(Lobel-Page 104 – Σαπφώ – English translation)

Fragment 104.1

(NOTE: "Bring from the mother her child" – this may be interpreted as a wedding song in which the bride is taken from her mother to her new home, though some amend this to "bring to the mother her child".)

Hesperus: all things you bring back, that are irradiantly scattered by Eos –

You bring the sheep, you bring the goat; you bring, from the mother, her child.

Fragment 104.2
