Abstract

A fresh look at Hera’s special relationship with sea-voyages and storms establishes the mythical and religious background of Sappho’s prayer to Hera in the «Brothers Poem». The explanation for her involvement in such situations reveals her double role as goddess of marriage and of sovereignity. This analysis adds to our understanding of Sappho’s request.
