Fragment 144
144Servius, commenting on Vergil, Aeneid, vi. 21, says:—
‘Some would have it believed that Theseus rescued along with himself seven boys and seven maidens, as Plato says in his Phaedo, and Sappho in her lyrics, and Bacchylides in his dithyrambics, and Euripides in his Hercules.’
No such passage from Sappho has been preserved.
