5/23: Sappho & Clytie

This morning I was thinking about Anya Leonard's Sappho: The Lost Poetess, a picturebook presentation of Sappho that is intriguingly problematic.  I kind of can't stop thinking about it, as if it's a puzzle I need to solve.  

This evening I tracked down the textual source for a recording of the story of Clytie that I loved as a child; it's from Flora J. Cooke's expanded (1919/1922) edition of Nature Myths and Stories. (The story was included, without citation, on a Disney record narrated by Rica Moore, which I wrote about back in September 2017.)
