Abstract
- This article explores the overall meaning of Sappho's "Brothers' Poem" by elucidating its web of interwoven verbal repetitions. "The gods", Sappho seems to say, "reward those who have moderate wishes, think in longer time frames by trying to exploit all their resources and understand the law of natural alternation, regulated by Zeus, by bringing about an even more spectacular reversal of fortune".
