Sappho shows a reverence for nice things, "embroidered sandals", "beautiful Lydian workmanship - comical when compared to Loeb 57 (What farm girl) CLASS BASED HUMOUR
Loeb 57 - What farm girl
Judgemenetal and cutting humour - class based humour based on exclusivity
"What farm girl, in her farming clothes, charms your mind?"
"Does she even know how to pull her ragged dress over her ankles?"
Loeb 110 - the doorkeeper
Smutty humour, making fun of his erection - "size twenty-seven feet"
Innuendo is funny as there is an exclusivity to it - lightening the mood for the girl getting married
Loeb 111 - Raise the roof!
Comical - lightens the mood and could relieve anxiety of the marriage day
“The bridegroom” is “like Ares, bigger by far than the biggest man” - hyperbole is humorous
Loeb 112 - Lucky bridegroom
Mocks the groom - emphasising that he does not measure up to this girl of his “dreams”.
Acts as comfort to the girl, would have known Sappho
