Question

Sappho's lyric poetry featured expressions of intense emotion. Which two statements best express the speaker's emotions toward Atthis?


by Sappho

Long ago beloved, thy memory, Atthis,
Saddens still my heart as the soft Æolic
Twilight deepens down on the sea, and fitful
Winds that have wandered

Over groves of myrtle at Amathonte
Waft forgotten passion on breaths of perfume.
Long ago, how madly I loved thee, Atthis!
Faithless, light-hearted

Loved one, mine no more, who lovest another
More than me; the silent flute and the faded
Garlands haunt the heart of me thou forgettest,
Long since thy lover.

a) The speaker still feels sad about Atthis’s unfaithfulness.
b) The speaker feels wonder at the amount of time that has passed.
c) The speaker feels sad and nostalgic because Atthis has forgotten her.

Answer 1

i just got it right its the second and thrid one 

Answer 2

The two statements that best express the speaker's emotions toward Atthis are a)the speaker still feels sad about Atthis' unfaithfulness, and c) the speaker feels sad and nostalgic because Atthis has forgotten her.

The first stanza expresses nostalgia and sadness because it speaks of a time long passed, and the images of twilight on the sea and winds that have gone and will not come back reinforce the idea.

The last stanza expresses sadness that Atthis loves another more than her, thus being unfaithful to someone that loved her madly.
