LESBIAN (2)
One of the questions that I have frequently encountered in discussions about ancient Greece is the question of whether the ancient Greek lyric poet Sappho was really a lesbian.
On the surface level, the answer to this question seems like an obvious “yes.” After all, Sappho wrote poems in which she very expressly describes her erotic desire for other women and the word lesbian literally comes from the name of the island where she lived. |
