Lesbian Fragments of Uncertain Ascription

Lesbian fragments of uncertain ascription are Aeolic lines that will not sit firmly with Sappho or with Alcaeus. One says "I shall look upon a fatherland of grim suffering"; another "but a daimon for us"; "but O Sun who furnishest all things"; the immortal gods laughed; they cowered as birds when a swift eagle appeared suddenly; Hero taught Gyara the waterless. Other scraps are glosses (aueoullai = aellai) and broken pieces of love-myth in a second group of fragments.

The fragments are printed in Lobel–Page's Poetarum Lesbiorum fragmenta (Oxford, 1955), with additions in Page's Supplementum lyricis Graecis (Oxford, 1974). The verse belongs to the seventh and sixth centuries BCE.

These are the Lesbian fragments that cannot be assigned to Sappho or Alcaeus, rather than the work of a third Lesbian poet.
