Scientific paper

The Sappho epigram mentioned in the title is shown to contain implicit astronomical information, which must have contributed to the expressiveness of Sappho's short poem to contemporary audiences. Astronomical computations are given to discover the earliest and the latest time of year for which the Pleiads set at midnight while being visible earlier in the evening, taking into account the atmospheric refraction. The time of year for which Sappho's poem is valid is concluded to run from 17 Jan. to 29 Mar.
