For anyone who may have thought the ending of House of the Muses #4 was the end of the friendship between Hero and Dika, think again. Our tomboyish ally lets Dika know–by gestures, if not with words–that she’ll always be there for her.
HEY! On a real left-tangent, I keep reading on Google according to some searches for “Sappho-Dika” on my site, a number of claims : “The Late Review: “we live / the opposite / daring” May 9, 2008 … The word ‘dyke’ is also of Greek origin, and comes from Dika / Δίκα, one of Sappho’s most favoured pupils. And if I remember correctly, …”
I want you all to know that this irritates the hell out of me, after all my studies of the Greek language as well as the story I’m writing. The name Δίκα is pronounced “DEE-ka,” not “Dyke-a” and means “Justice” not…whatever…..people who have no knowledge of the language are seizing on a similarity and claiming this to be origin of modern terms….I’m off my soapbox now.
