I doubt, however, if Asclepiades' epigram can be regarded as sufficient proof that tribadism was also connected with Samos; and there is no reason to regard as homosexual, as Wilamowitz, did (Sappho und Simonides (Berlin, 1913), p. 72 n. 3)Google Scholar, the Samian γυναῖκας…ὑπ⋯ τρυϕ⋯ς κα⋯ ϋβρεως ⋯κόλαστα ποιούσας of Plut, . quaest. gr. 54Google Scholar.
