Sappho Selanna

I work at the University of Vienna and at academies of science in Austria and neighbouring countries.

For quick reference, I use Wikipedia from time to time, where I come across various errors and inaccuracies, which has ultimately led me to make corrections (typos, errors in content) and additions on a case-by-case basis. However, my time is very limited in this respect.

About my pseudonym

I call myself Sappho Selanna because I am fascinated by Sappho as a poet and because I work on the computer most nights (σελάννα = moon).

My favourite poem by her is:

Δέδυκε μὲν ἀ σελάννα
καὶ Πληίαδες· µέσαι δὲ
νύκτες, πάρα δ᾿ ἔρχετ ὤρα·
ἔγω δὲ μόνα κατεύδω

Dédyke mèn a selánna
kai Plêíades; mésai dè
nýktes, pára d'érkhet' óra;
égô dè móna kateúdô.

Now the moon has already set,
and also the Pleiades. It is mid-
night; time passes.
And solitary, I lie.

Sappho Selanna on the web

I also run a YouTube channel under the same pseudonym.
