Sappho's poetry survives to us mostly in fragments, with only one of her poems surviving in full. What has survived is incredibly emotive, and displays her understanding of enduring human emotion that still resonates with readers in the modern-day. Sappho of Lesbos, the Female Greek Poet of Ancient Greece so renowned in her time that she was often referred to as simply 'the Poetess,' has created works that have survived for over two thousand years, and is still revered today.

Her sexuality does really matter to some people. She's considered to be a historical icon to the LGBT community.

Her sexuality is important. A lot of her works were destroyed by the Catholic church during the 1100's because they disproved her love poems about women. It was part of her work, and her identity, as well as a reminder that lesbianism has always existed. I'd definitely work on not coming off as so dismissive on her sexuality!

I didn't know Sappho invented the Mixolydian scale! It's unfortunate so little of her works remain intact, but cool that at least one full poem survives.

"Whether Sapho herself was a lesbian is unknown."
It is not possible to express fiery emotion without keenly feeling it.

There are not a lot of women spoken of in Ancient Greek history. She must have been very talented and had too have a strong personality to be spoken of so well and to be exiled for her political feelings.

the debate between lesbian or straight is very indicative of how homophobic our society is... there's more than just two options people. sappho would not have written so much about wlw if there wasn't something there that resonated with her. creativity comes from inspiration and experience. her written work and her potential marriage to a man do not work against each other in any form - they can coexist. there is a lot we don't know about her but it's honestly ridiculous to claim that she's heterosexual based off of what is available to us.

Oh, I love it! So professional but still full of passion. Thank you very much!

Your ancient-history presentations are so good; they're balanced & objective. Thank you.
Consider doing a video on another famous female from the ancient world, Hypatia of Alexandria.

I really loved this! Kelly is fascinating to listen to!!

Sappho is amazing. Thank you for the video.

Given that Sappho lived so long ago, we can't be 100% certain about any aspect of her life. Is she speaking as herself in her poems or in the voice of a character? We'll probably never know for sure. But given that her one surviving complete poem and a few fragments name herself as being in love with a woman, and knowing some of her other poems (such as the recently discovered "Brothers Poem") were apparently autobiographical, it's not unreasonable to conclude that Sappho herself was sexually and romantically attracted to women, even if she may have been married to a man.

š®You would think her poetry deserves to be heard instead of hearing about her history alone.

I love the content, channel, and presenter :)

I meanā¦as a lesbian, the fact that people say that her sexuality doesnāt really matter is kind of annoying. There have been so many examples of straight washing throughout history. It matters to me that Iām a lesbian and it matters to other queer people that they are queer. We canāt just say that our queerness is not important and make it go away because cishet people donāt want to talk about it. Thatās just how I felt watching that. Itās just kind of frustrating to see someone say that it doesnāt matter that one of the only examples of a wlw figure in history is wlw, especially that it does matter to so many wlw and LGBT+ people in general. Please donāt take the is personally. This isnāt an attack. This is just a commentary as a queer person of what I noticed in this video about someone who is a big part of queer history.
