Article section on relationship to homer/greek myth

Latest comment: 8 years ago1 comment1 person in discussion

I've had my eye on this section as problematically unencyclopediac for quite some time; however, I finally got round to cutting it today impelled by two findings:

The sentences referenced to Anne Carson's If Not, Winter were far too closely paraphrased for my liking
One of the references to Rutherford did not appear to be supported anywhere in Rutherford's book.

I don't have access to the sources other than Rutherford and Carson, so I can't check to see how close the paraphrasing is there. Either way, I've written up a small amount discussing how Sappho presents her Helen and how that compares to Sappho's contemporaries to somewhat replace the deleted sections; I'm not entirely happy with them, though.
