I have a graceful, beautiful little girl, lovely as a golden flower; Cleïs, whom I adore so, I would not let anyone give all of Lydia, nor the isle of Lesbos, in exchange for her — "Thoughts That Bring Me Joy" This session tells the story of the famous ancient Greek poet Sappho and her work. Questions to spark interest: What was Sappho's sexual orientation? Was she lesbian, straight or bisexual? Is sexual orientation innate, or shaped by environment? Are Sappho's poems forgeries? Setting gender aside, are power relations always present in love? Questions we will cover: What did Sappho experience in ancient Greece? How did views of Sappho change after her death? What is distinctive about Sappho's poetry? How has the understanding of homosexuality changed through history?
