A brief epilogue on Sappho’s playful inversion of epic temporalities, particularly night and day, concludes the book. Finding in the alienated nocturnal rhythms and domestic scenes material from which to fashion her own songs, Sappho amplifies the queer potential of Homeric narrative. She reassembles epic elements into new patterns, finding nurturance, and a source of light – literal and metaphorical – in both the blackness of night and the banks of Acheron.
