New Sappho love poem

[champagnesheik]

I recently read in the calendar section of the Los Angeles Times about a newly discovered poem by Sappho. 12 lines long, it was found wrapped around an Egyptian mummy. The article says it was published with an English translation in the London Times Literary Supplement.

Does anyone have a copy of the poem and translation?

It's the Times Literary Supplement.

That's what I wrote. Or are you just nitpicking my lack of underlining/italicizing?

Anonymous obviously doesn't have an email notification for your response and might not clarify, so I will. I don't think Anonymous was nitpicking about italics. The official name of the paper is just The Times and has been for over 200 years. I can understand the need to clarify, of course, in a sentence like, "I read this review of Collapse in the Times, since there are many newspapers called Times, but there is only one Times Literary Supplement.

Ah, I see. Well, I'm just writing as I see it spelled in the article, so we should all riot against The Los Angeles Times.

Does anyone have the original Greek? Perhaps a scanned copy of the text?
