141, Winecups held up

SAPPHO

(Lobel-Page 141 – Σαπφώ – English translation)


And there, ambrosia verily

In a bowl has been mixed;

And Hermes, taking a decanter: – for the gods he poured out wine.


And they then all had

Their winecups held up

While they libated, and prayed all good things for the bridegroom.
