Sappho and her influence

Note 109 — V. SAPPHO IN ART

Reading edition

The ancient representations of Sappho on vases have been well studied by Jahn, Darstellungen griechischer Dichter auf Vasenbildern, Abh. d. Sächs. Ges. d. Wiss., VIII. 699 ff. (1861); Comparetti, Museo Italiano di Antichita classica, II, 41-80, pls. III-VI (1888); Cipollini, pp. 319-344; Wilamowitz, Sappho und Simonides, pp. 40 ff. Little new material has come to light, but the individual vases have been better interpreted in the later publications which we cite in other notes. Aly omits the busts, though he mentions the vases, but he calls the Steinhauser fragment a clay relief and fails to recognize that it is part of a vase.
