Vetting Status: high
Translation: She died unseasonably, and they imagined that her ghost went to children and to those [who had suffered] unseasonable deaths.
Greek Original:Gellous paidophilôtera: hautê aôros eteleutêse, kai to phantasma autês edokoun epi ta paidia kai tous aôrous thanatous ienai.
Notes:
cf.
Zenobius 3.3, attributing the tale to
Lesbos, and specifically to
Sappho; hence the headword phrase itself is regarded as a fragment of
Sappho (178 Lobel-Page).
Hesychius has two consecutive 'Gello' entries (gamma307-308) of a darker nature: there she is connected with the Empousa (
epsilon 1049) and snatches the new-born.
