terpsikeraunos:thespineanditstingle:Sappho 102, trans. Anne CarsonI generally love Anne Carson’s translations, but a note about this one: the word she translated as “boy” (paidos) could actually mean “boy” OR “girl.” The difference is usually indicated by a gendered article, which Sappho did not provide here. (We do know that the speaker is female from the participle dameisa). -- source link
