In 1920, Juanita Clivette made the highly publicized claim that she was Sappho reincarnated. But the story goes deeper than that. Come learn with me about a whimsical and convoluted hoax!

This feels exactly like those fake twitter & FB posts where some mom is like "my 8 year old just came to me and said *insert complex topic here*" it's good to know in like 100,000 year of humans existing we really have always been the same and that times change but we really don't.

I'm the current reincarnation of Sapho. Unfortunately I'm a 45 year old dude who doesn't really like poetry so it's bad news for everybody. Maybe next time round.

I don't see the hoax as entirely "harmless" I mean, her parents forcing her to live this sham life from such a young age, not able to be herself, must've seriously messed her up.

This has the same energy as those facebook mom stories where the kid is like 2 and says "Mother, I am quite chilly...but I will be even colder when the polar ice caps melt and consume us all." Little Kaiyleighanne is so smart!! šŸ˜­šŸ˜­

Itā€™s hilarious for her mom, knowing that Juanita was not actually Sappho, telling Juanita that it was the ā€œflapper spiritā€ making her love Ernst

"Ma'am, you can just say you're a lesbian." "No I can't, it's the 1920's." "Fair point. Have a good day, Sappho."

As a Buddhist who kinda believes in reincarnation I was so ready to believe this but when she said Sappho was straight, she lost me.

For anyone confused about sapphos sexuality: Sappho being in love with phaon was likely a joke made by other poets/writers of the era, representing the story of Aphrodite chasing the sun god on his chariot into the sea. Since sappho wrote a lot about Aphrodite, this makes sense. Also, sappho used gender neutral or feminine terms to describe the people she was in love with in her poems. The gender neutral terms could have been to disguise her love for women, or to describe men. No one really knows since translators who don't want her to be gay have changed the wording in English. So she could be bi, but there is no solid proof she liked men. Regardless, she loved women and the labels don't really matter that much.

the statement for the play issued by the court seems so hilarious over a century later, it's crazy to think the public may have actually taken it seriously
