brothers - 2024 ACF Winter

Question

In a poem sometimes titled for these people, the speaker wishes that one of them would leave childhood so they can be free “from this weight of depression.” For 10 points each:

[10m] Name these people, the subject of a poem that Dirk Obbink’s team discovered in 2014. One of these people is told “hail and farewell” at the end of a poem by Catullus.

ANSWER: brothers [accept the “Brothers Poem” or the “Brothers Song”]

[10e] This poet of the “Brothers Poem” describes being left by a woman who used to “on soft beds…let loose [her] longing.” That fragment may be the most explicitly homoerotic of the surviving poems by this poet from Lesbos.

ANSWER: Sappho [or Psápphō; accept Sappho 94 or “Sappho’s Confession”]

[10h] Sappho wrote “time is passing, but I sleep alone” in her “midnight poem,” which has been suggested to be about this mythological figure. A later poem titled after this figure includes a “Hymn to Pan” and renames his lover Cynthia.

ANSWER: Endymion (The later poem is by John Keats.)
