person
Dica
also: Δίκα, Mnasidica (possibly the same girl)
A girl of Sappho's circle, told in fr. 81 to garland her hair with dill so the Graces will look on her with favor. The name may be a short form of Mnasidica (fr. 82).
Reading notes
- Fragments of Books Three and Four §81 Dica
A girl of Sappho's circle, otherwise unknown — the name may be short for Mnasidica (fr. 82), in which case the two fragments touch the same girl. She is told to garland her hair with dill-sprigs because beauty is liturgy: the Graces attend to what is dressed for them.
