In his programmatic epigram 2 Fl., Strato of Sardis addresses the reader warning him not to look for, inter alia, ‘nightingales’ in his poems (l. 3). This term, under the obvious mythologi cal reference to the story of Procne, could hide an obscene double meaning (‘female sexual organ’, attested in a fragment of Archilochus), thus implicitly declaring Strato’s rejection of heterosexual poetry.

Abstract
In his programmatic epigram 2 Fl., Strato of Sardis addresses the reader warning him not to look for, inter alia, ‘nightingales’ in his poems (l. 3). This term, under the obvious mythologi cal reference to the story of Procne, could hide an obscene double meaning (‘female sexual organ’, attested in a fragment of Archilochus), thus implicitly declaring Strato’s rejection of heterosexual poetry.
