Sappho - the most important love poet in history
#Poetry #ancientgreece #Sappho #literature #booktok #romanempire #greekmythology
Sappho, one of the most influential lyric poets of archaic Greece, known for shaping personal and emotional poetry in the western tradition.
Roman marble portrait head, 2nd century CE. Found in Smyrna (modern Izmir, Turkey). Likely a later Roman idealized representation rather than a true likeness of the poet, reflecting how Sappho was remembered and honored centuries after her lifetime

A poetic conversation across miles and millennia, Sappho Prompts engages an ancient voice in contemporary poems of life and love. Margaret Lee’s collection responds to ancient Greek fragments of Sappho, known in antiquity as The Poetess. Lee’s poems affirm the universal appeal of Sappho’s lyrics that celebrate beauty, love, and the natural world. Using Sappho’s fragmentary lines as prompts, Lee crafts new poems with insights into the myths, desires, and longings that characterize Sappho’s ancient songs. Sappho Prompts features Lee’s translations of Sappho from the Greek with extensive notes, cover art by the author, and an explanatory essay explaining Sappho’s context in ancient literature and her enduring influence. #poetry #Sappho #ancients #Greek #booktok

The Aegean island is also known as #Lesbos, #Mytilene, #Midilli and, more colloquially, The Island of Poets. You might find yourself drawing a connection between “Lesbos” and the word “#lesbian”, and you wouldn’t be wrong to notice that. The island was home to famous poet #Sappho, a homosexual woman who openly wrote about her sexuality. She caused women like her to be called “#lesbians”, aka “from Lesbos”. 🏳️🌈
.
The islands first Greek settlers came along time ago (we’re talking #BronzeAge). Since then, it has been home to many famous names including #Aristotle, #Epicurus, #Barbarossa and #HüseyinHilmiPaşa. The island joined many empires, including the #Byzantine and #Ottoman empires, before becoming a part of #Greece in 1912.
