Dedication: For my mother, Katharine Robins Carpenter Sligo, and for Rosalind Angelo Sligo, my sister, and her children - Marc, Lisa and Sara.
With love and a sure knowledge that this re-interpretation of part of our past will meet with approval.
And for Bruce Sims and Melanie Sandford, who already understand why it was written.

Epigraph: Passing by this Aeolian tomb, stranger, speak not of the poet of Mytelene as dead. For though this was built by the hands of men, and such human works sink quickly into oblivion, yet if you make enquiries of me ... you shall know that I have escaped the darkness of the underworld, since there shall never be the light of the sun that has not the knowledge of the lyrist, Sappho. Tullius Laurea, Cicero's freedman.
