Note 64 — III. THE LEGENDARY FRINGE Sappho’s Physical Appearance, The Phaon Story, The Vice Idea

My late colleague and dear friend, Kirby Flower Smith, made a brilliant reconstruction of the story which he read several times in public. It is to be deeply regretted that the manuscript has never been printed. Cf. for the Menander fragment, F. G. Allinson’s Menander, in The Loeb Classical Library, pp. 400-401. For fragments of Plato’s Phaon, cf. Kock, C. A. F., I, p. 645. Cf. Servius on Virgil, Aeneid, III. 274.
