Amazingly enough, I, who do not have a Bachelor's degree in language and literature, actually already knew that. Thanks for the info, though. I'm sure there are people who do not know that. ;-)

Yeah, this video is almost as underrated as Sappho herself. Way to go, My Dahlink.

Merci! Now, if only people would recognize the true genius of the ninja one... ;-)

I am currently doing my major ancient history assignment on Sappho!

She was so interesting and her poetry is great!

Sappho is defiantely a great person to find out about, more should know about her!

@KawaiiKohaku Yes you are correct, you shouldn't buy "into the whole sappho=lesbian thing" because she was bisexual.......hehee

Well done. I was wanting to know what sources you used to get your autobiographical information. Thanks alot for posting.

i hope her works would be taught in high school soon, but since I'll be in college in a few months, i don't really care, still want her great work to be known every where :D she is one great poet who could broaden our views in some aspects in life but the only reason i could come up with regards on the question ''why her works aren't thought to high school students?" is practically because she is interrelated with lesbianism, which is almost impossible to erase

I understand that Sappho, was one of the first (if not THE first) person to put words to music. She played the lyre. If this is true we could say that she was the creator of the song and add this to the list of amazing accomplishments achieved by this wonderful woman who lived almost 2000 years ago. Great video.

I would not say she was homosexual... go and read her poems.
