Vol. I, Brief e, p. 90. 262 University of California Publications in Modem Philology. [Vol. 2 Sappho, after the poetess has sung her ode in which she has invoked Aphrodite to her aid in the impending struggle for Phaon's love, she leans her head wearily back against the terrace (iv, 155). The gesture which is directly opposed to this, that of raising the head, is typical of courage and action : "Den Kopf empor und alles frisch bekannt! " (iv, 159) "Und so, gehobnen Haupts, mit furchtlos offnen ...Blicken, Entgegen kiihn den kommenden Geschicken. " (viii, 132) The raising of the head is also connected with an aggressive frame of mind, or with arrogance : "Der Undank hob sein Haupt auf gegen mich" (vi, 130) ; " .... Wie er einhergeht, Mit aufgeworfnem Nacken, hohem Haupt, Als fordert' er Gott selber auf zum Kampf. " (xi, 167) It may, on the other hand, be merely a mark of attention : Medea says to the maiden who kneels at her feet begging her pardon, "Was ist?" at the same time raising her head from her brown study (v, 56).
