Ποικιλόθρον᾽ ἀθάνατ᾽ Ἀφρόδιτα, παῖ Διός δολόπλοκε, λίσσομαί σε μή ἄσαισι μηδ᾽ ὀνίαισι δάμνα, πότνια, θῦμον·
The only poem of Sappho that survives whole. It opens as a prayer — piling up titles for the goddess, then the plea: do not crush my heart. Aeolic Greek: Ἀφρόδιτα for Ἀφροδίτη, θῦμον for θυμόν.
