To Defense Of Sappho.
Sappho. the Greek lady whom we have
been brought up to believe was. to put II
mildly, not quite nice, was whitewashed
by DR.. W. L. Courtney at the Royal In
stitution the other day
1t was necessary, he said. to imagine a
society in which II was not considered i'm
proper or indelicate to write frankly and
openly about emotions, feelings and ras-
sions. Sapphos poems contained instances
OF that frank speech, and they had been
misinterpreted because we read into the
words some associations which belonged
only to a much later stage Of civilized
life
Sappho. it seems. spoke sometimes with
unconventional directness, but to argue
from unconventionality Of language 10
disorderliness of behavior was to go q
grea. deal beyond what the record war
ranted.
Then, according to DR.. Courtney, the
worst of IL was that the early Christian
writer's accepted and popularized the mis-
Interpretation which the Greeks them
selves invented. 1t suited their argu-
ments to paint Sappho as terrible ex-
ample of corruption in heathenism.
Stories were recklessly invented about
her. She was supposed to have had many
lovers but we can take the statement
for what IL is worth when we know that
one of those supposed lovers was one
hundred years old when she was born.
and another had not been born at the
time of her DEATH said the doctor In
conclusion.
