Finding her passionate love for Phaon was unrequited, she cast herself into the sea from Mount Leucas. She lived about 600 b.c, and though very little of her writings remain, they are wonderfully sweet and elegant, and quite deserve the title bestowed upon her of " the tenth Muse."

Sarai - " My princess." Originally, Sarai meant "quarrelsome," but when the name of Abraham's wife was converted into Sarah, its meaning was changed and glorified, and the first meaning of Sarai was forgotten in the beauty of the second. The Rabbis cherish a tradition that Jehovah condescended to add the last letter of His name to hers, as a proof of love and faithfulness. In Genesis xi. and xvii. we read: " The name of Abram's wife was Sarai. And God said unto Abraham, as for Sarai, thy wife, thou shalt not call her name Sarai, but Sarah shall her name be. And I will bless her." Thus we have Sarah, instead of Sara, as one would expect from the feminine of Sar.
