Over 2,500 years ago, one of ancient Greece’s most celebrated popstars and erotic poets enraptured listeners. The singer-songwriter offered a uniquely intimate perspective on love, passion, and longing, and was the first on record to combine the words “bitter” and “sweet,” to describe the ups and downs of romance. So, who was this revered figure? Diane J. Rayor uncovers the writings of Sappho.
Lesson by Diane J. Rayor, directed by Amir Houshang Moein.

This "someone in another time will remember us" hits really hard!

People should not always associate “ancient” with “underdevelopment”. There are different periods in history, which saw different developments in different fields. Keep in mind that we too are “ancient” for people who will come to earth in the future.

Sappho is one of the greatest lyrical poets ever. Her poems, especially in the original with her beautiful vocabulary and placing of the words,are amazing!!!

I screamed "No!" at my computer for three seconds when I heard that 10000 of her verses were in the Library of Alexandria.

Can’t remember the comedian who said this, but they were of Greek heritage and their grandmother came from Lesbos. They asked grandma, “what do they call people from Athens? Athenians. What about (they went through a few places with similar results). Then they asked, “what do they call people from Lesbos grandma? Les….Greeks.

'Thought to have married a man' is a bit of a joke because the man she is thought to have married was named 'Kerkylas of Andros'.
Kerkylas wasn't really a name in Greek times, and it is similar to the word 'kerkos', which refers to a man's... ahem.
Andros, besides being one of the Greek Islands, is also a word for 'man' in Greek.
So her 'husband's name literally translates to '*ahem* of man', which is clearly a cheeky joke, and why some scholars believe she was never married. :)

There was a poem about literally shaking and sweating at the sight of how pretty someone was
Very platonic indeed just sappho and her friend suuuuurrreee

Italian most famous poet, Leopardi, Wrote "the Last Lyrics of Saffo" about her death. It is a romantic version of her suiciding over the abandon by her beloved. Loved that poem a lot

As a Greek I am so happy to see one of the most interesting figures of our cultural sphere have a video of her own and a beautiful one at that. Ευχαριστώ πολύ!

Instead of "someone in another time", a lot of people are remembering Sappho's work in every time there is.

"No you guys dont get it, they were friends, uh because uh, well, by saying she quenched her thirst on the bed uh *sweats intensely* she meant uh she drank juice at a sleepover, thats uh thats all"

Even though I'm Greek (but my nationality is Cypriot) I didn't get taught about ancient Greek history or Greek literature when I was at school. It makes me happy to watch videos from Ted-Ed so I can learn more about the country's literature (and generally many countries literature)

Finally, someone who actually admits that sappho's poems are about love, not friendship.

If in some far off future Time Travel to the past becomes a reality, humanity ought to make the Library of Alexandria its first mission.

Plato, who wasn't exactly fond of women, was so blown away with Sappho's work he called her "the Tenth Muse", essentially calling her one of the goddesses of inspiration (the 9 muses). That's how highly of a compliment you could think of.
