Sappho

The poet Sappho is very interesting person to study. Firstly, the word Lesbian derived from the island that she was born and the word, Sapphic came from herself. Not many people back then were freely talking about the sexuality. Moreover, Sappho was a woman herself. Her poetry talks about love and passion toward both genders to genders. I believe it is very shocking idea while the poem is written. I don’t personally enjoy reading poetry since it is usually harder to understand the hidden symbols or meaning. However, her poem was catchy and impressive to go and find out the meaning of each passages.
