Did you ever wonder what that phrase in Greek meant? Did you have difficulty with some of Sappho’s grammar? Here are two resources for you and your students.
Idioms is a very short reference work to figure out phrases. It is alphabetical in Greek, and gives meanings for those phrases. If you run into a difficulty in translating, this is the place to go!
Introduction to Sappho’s Greek is a lengthier work, dealing with the Aeolic grammar and vocabulary of Sappho. It was used at Williams college, but I think it is more suitable for the teacher to use as a reference. Here is the rationale: The grammar is presented in a series of chapters, including detailed notes on an appropriate group of fragments; these notes explain all forms and vocabulary not given in the chapters. The chapter vocabularies include words appearing three or more times in the poems; a general vocabulary at the end serves as an index to these separate vocabularies.
