Note 143 — VI. SAPPHO’S INFLUENCE ON GREEK AND ROMAN LITERATURE

Wilamowitz, Sappho und Simonides, p. 58, 2. There is an enormous literature on Catullus’ relation to Sappho and much discussion of textual matters. Cf. for the most recent Bursian Jahresbericht, CLXXVIII, 1919, p. 46. Compare E. 32, 147 and 149 with Catullus LXII, 26, 35; E. 151 with LXII, 61; E. 148 with LXII. In XXXV, 17-18 we have “Ignosco tibi, Sapphica puella Musa doctior.”
