Burch Blushing bride, brimful of rose-petaled love, brightest jewel of the Goddess of Paphos, come to the bridal bed, tenderly entice your bridegroom. May Hesperus lead you starry-eyed to stand awestruck before the silver throne of Hera, Goddess of Marriage! Sappho, fragment 160 translation by Michael R. Burch I shall now sing skillfully to please my companions. Sappho, fragment 22 translation by Michael R. Burch I bid you, Abanthis, grab your lyre and sing of Gongyla, while desire surrounds you. Sing of the lovely one, how her clinging white dress excited you as she whirled. Meanwhile, I rejoice although Aphrodite once chided me for praying … and yet I still pray to have her. Sappho, fragment 44 translation by Michael R. Burch The Wedding of Andromache and Hector The herald arrived from Cyprus, Idaios, the fleetfooted Trojan messenger, whose ringing voice announced the wedding’s immortal fame to all Asia: “Hector and his companions deliver delightful-eyed delicate Andromache over the salt sea, on ships from holy Thebes and eternal-shored Plakia, with many gold bracelets, fragrant purple garments, iridescent adornments, and countless silver cups and ivory.” As he spoke, Hector’s beloved father sprang joyously to his feet and the report soon reached Hector's friends throughout the sprawling city. Immediately the sons of Ilos, Troy's founder, harnessed mules to smooth-wheeled carriages as throngs of women and slender-ankled virgins climbed aboard. Priam's daughters came in royal carriages. Elsewhere bachelors harnessed stallions to their chariots. From far and wide charioteers rode like gods toward the sacred gathering. Everyone of one accord they set out for Ilion accompanied by the melodies of sweet-voiced flutes, reed pipes and clacking castanets. The virgins sang sacred songs whose silvery echoes brightened the heavens. Everywhere in the streets wine bowls and cups were raised in jubilant toasts. The fragrances of myrrh, cassia and frankincense mingled together, perfuming the wind. The older women cried aloud for joy and the men's voices rang forcefully, calling on the archer Paion Apollo, master of the lyre, as all sang the praises of godlike Hector and Andromache.
