Sappho of Lesbos was the greatest poetess of antiquity. Her vivid
emotional manner of writing influenced poets through the ages.
Her themes are very personal - she was able to critically judge
her own ecstasies and pains without losing her emotional force.
On the island of Lesbos Sappho led a circle of young women who were
her disciples.
