FAQ About Sappho of Lesbos

One of the most common misconceptions about Sappho is that all her poetry was exclusively about love between women. While many of her poems do explore female relationships, they also encompass a broader range of themes like love in general, personal reflection, and public events. Another misconception is that Sappho's sexuality is clearly defined; in reality, her work encompasses a complex and nuanced view of love and relationships that is open to interpretation.
