Hey, I've been wanting to get a tattoo for a long time, but haven't been able to find the right translation.
What I'm looking for is a specific verse from a poem my the greek writer Sappho.
I have been able to find whole poems written the way they were in Ancient Greece, but its hard to tell exactly what I am looking at.
I just don't want something grammatically incorrect, or spelt wrong, or even translated wrong on my body for the rest of my life.
It would be really neat if I could do it this way, kindness in others, and such..
So here it is:
For even if she flees, soon she shall pursue.
And if she refuses gifts, soon she shall give them.
If she doesn’t love you, soon she shall love
even if she’s unwilling.”
Annnd this
might
be a translation of it...
kai gar ei feugei tacew~ diwxei
ai de dwra mh deket, alla dwsei
ai de mh filei tacew~ filhsei
kwuk eqeloisa.
