The Queen of Lesbos - Poetess Sappho (6x2)

:

The Greek poetess Sappho from the Isle of Lesbos is the most important female lyricist of the classical age. She worshipped women and often addressed her work to beautiful ladies. Although her definite sexuality will remain a mystery, it is almost as widely discussed as her work itself. The constant myth that Sappho was gay remains which is why the term "lesbian" dates back to Sappho's erotic poetry.
