Homophobic historians claiming Sappho was straight is simultaneously so hilarious and so infuriating.

βIβm a lesbian, and sometimes we just eat toast.β I mean, I know most folks here are probably LGBTQ+ or allies (like myself). But damn sis, YES. ITS π NOT π ALL π ABOUT π SEX π

Fun fact: older cultures sometimes used different words to describe colors. Ancient Japan didn't have a word for "green" and considered it a shade of blue. So maybe Sappho's "violet" hair wasn't actually purple? But probably was a dark color - I would assume raven-colored (as in, black but maybe showing blues, greens, or purples in certain lights?). Or maybe she was just super dedicated go aesthetics and put a shit ton of energy into dying her hair. I would, if I got thrown back in time. I love my crazy colors

Re: Being described as having "violet" hair. Violet in ye olde days wasn't a word for purple, it was a word for blue. One with violet hair would have the classically 'true black' blue-black hair that was so coveted compared to brown-black hair.

I had a Greek literature professor try to argue the "she could have been writing from the perspective of a man" framing and claim that whether or not Sappho was a lesbian isn't really important to understanding her poetry, and I genuinely have never had my respect for a teacher plummet so quickly.
Also one of the funniest attempts to straightwash her poetry is that one scholar claimed that the lines "on a soft bed you let loose your longing" from frag. 94 were about taking a nap

The idea that queer historians were trolling the people who only bothered to read translations just tickles me so so much

"Calm down Victorian historians."
The cry of non-male historians since 1910.

This ensemble is fantastic. Sappho would be proud π₯°

Itβs not Lesbian unless it comes from the Lesbos island of Greece, otherwise itβs just sparkling homosexuality

I was recently in a Starbucks here in the Deep South and they had a Sappho quote on their board. Either a) they have no idea she was the original Super Lesbian, or b) they were actually allies and were telling the LGBTQA+ community in a way most people down here wouldn't notice if they didn't belong to the community.
Either way, I loved it.

"We're here! We're queer! We're historically-confirmed-to-have-been around-for-at-least-approximately-four-thousand-five-hundred-ish years!"
Lovely video & outfit! π

"I'm a lesbian, and sometimes we just eat toast" is a phenomenal statement! I may have to get that on a mug π

I would love to see one on Alan Turing how was know for his Turing machine and played a crucial role in cracking coded messages from the axis power and is considered the father of the modern computer.

Jessica: proof that homosexuality is as old as legends
Sappho from up above: I'm proud of you my fellow sapphic woman now I could rest at peace

"That is a niche that honestly....ticks my boxes"
MRS. Kellgren-Fozard, such bold language! π

Ah, the history books that list roommates. Tale as old as time. Reminds me of when I was ten and my parents finally told me, yeah, Robin is not Grandma's roommate. lol. (They got married in 2011 so yay!)

Lovely video, and lovely costume! Thank you for talking about Sappho; it warms my scholarly heart.
Sappho's poetry was actually my dissertation focus, and I've spent FAR too much time detangling silly myths about her. I feel inspired to do a deep dive on my own channel now!
Suffice to say, YES she loved other women, and NO she likely didn't ever meet Alcaeus or actually know a boatman named Phaon. We don't even have real evidence for her 'circle' except that she seems to have had a lot of female friends, which, would be kinda normal?
Also, Erinna was a fellow female poet from a similar time who wrote didactic epic rather than lyric poetry. No evidence they knew each other, either, but HUZZAH for ancient poetesses!

As someone who comes from the island of Lesbos, this video makes me really happy. :D I make a point to talk about this whenever there is an opportunity (usually when I introduce myself for the first time, it becomes a talking point) because even though I am not part of the LGBTQ+ community, I think it is really important to highlight parts of history that are often overlooked or intentionally erased in mainstream education. To this day, I am yet to find someone who knows about Sappho or how the term Lesbian came to be; I will be pointing them to your video from now on also. Love your work!

Historians are always like "THERE HAS TO BE A HETEROSEXUAL EXPLANATION FOR THIS."
