The Poems of Sappho: 59: Gentle Adonis is dying, O Cyther...
Κατθνάσκει Κυθέρἠ, ἄβροσ Ἄδωνισ, τί κε θεῖμεν,
Καττύπτεσθε κόραι καὶ κατερείκεσθε χίτωνασ. [transcription]
Gentle Adonis is dying, O Cythera, what shall we do?
Beat your breasts, O maidens, and rend your garments.
Gentle Adonis wounded lies, dying, dying.
What message, O Cythera, dost thou send?
Beat, beat your white breasts, O ye weeping maidens,
And in wild grief your mourning garments rend.
Quoted by Hephaestion and presumed to be written by Sappho from a passage in Pausanias.
The reverbrating beat of the repetitions of the letter k is very remarkable.
