WHAT DOES SAPPHIC ODE MEAN IN ENGLISH?

Sapphic stanza

The Sapphic stanza, named after Sappho, is an Aeolic verse form spanning four lines. The form is two hendecasyllabic verses, and a third verse beginning the same way and continuing with five additional syllables. Using "-" for a long syllable, "u" for a short and "x" for an "anceps": - u - x - u u - u - - - u - x - u u - u - - - u - x - u u - u - - - u u - u While Sappho used several metrical forms for her poetry, she is most famous for the Sapphic stanza. Her poems in this meter ran to 330 stanzas, a significant part of her complete works. It is not clear if she created it or if it was already part of the Aeolic tradition; according to Marius Victorinus, it was invented by Alcaeus but then used more frequently by, and so more strongly associated with, Sappho.
