Sappho said “I love women so much I’m gonna die” and a ton of Ancient Greek lesbians went “retweet” and now we’re here

"What's wrong with Kerkylas of Andros?" "Well, I think it's a joke, sir. Like Sillius Soddus or Biggus Dickus."

That’s actually a surprisingly refreshing reframing of Sappho. Interesting to learn it wasn’t the homophobes that got her, it was just dumb old illiteracy.

"The Greeks and Romans were indiscriminately thirsty." There are so many great lines in this vid and Blue's delivery is fantastic.

I hear that women’s laugh and I get HELLA THIRSTY! “Now hear me out guys, I think she was chaste.”

Honestly the fact that her meme husband was literally called Dick of Man Island is perfect when you consider that because of Sappho's legendary gayness in the modern English language "Sappho of Lesbos" basically means "Gay of Gay Island". And naturally there is no power couple greater than Gay of Gay Island and her husband Dick of Man Island.

Today: Group 1:"Sapho is gay, she slept with women!" Group 2:"Nooo, Sapho is at least bisexual, she had relations with men" Ancient times in Greece Sapho:"did that human breathe? I'd hit that!" Zeus:"Same"

Despite how little of her work remains, we can at least be grateful that "I'm horni" is a sentiment that transcends language, period, cultural framework and all literary conventions. Millennia later, we can still relate to and laugh at the idea of finding someone's voice so hot we need to sit down.

Regardless of if she's a lesbian icon or a bisexual icon, she's still a fantastic icon for female poets!
