= Sappho Selanna =

I work at the University of Vienna and at Academies of Sciences in Austria and neighbouring countries.

For quick reference, I use Wikipedia from time to time, where I come across various errors and inaccuracies, which has ultimately led me to make corrections (typos, errors in content) and additions on a case-by-case basis. However, my time is very limited in this respect.

About my pseudonym
I call myself Sappho Selanna because I am fascinated by Sappho as a poet and because I work on the computer most nights (σελάννα = moon).

My favourite poem by her is:

Δέδυκε μὲν ἀ σελάννα

καὶ Πληίαδες· µέσαι δὲ

νύκτες, πάρα δ᾿ ἔρχετ ὤρα·

ἔγω δὲ μόνα κατεύδω

''Dédyke mèn a selánna  kai Plêíades; mésai dè '' ''nýktes, pára d'érkhet' óra;  égô dè móna kateúdô.''

Now the moon has already set, '' and also the Pleiades. It is mid- '' night; time passes. '' And solitary, I lie.

Sappho Selanna on the web
I also run a YouTube channel under the same pseudonym.
