  • Resumen

  • Around 630 BC, Sapho loved and sung on the island of Lesbos - from which we get the word for female to female love.

    Legend holds that she ended her life over love of a ... man... can this tale be true?

    We look into the story behind the story.

    Sappho was the lyrical genius whose verses were meant to be sung, not just read. Known as the "Tenth Muse" and "The Poetess," she was celebrated far and wide for her powerful, emotional poetry. Though most of her work has been lost to time, the fragments that remain still echo her brilliance. Her only surviving complete poem, the "Ode to Aphrodite," gives us a glimpse of her unmatched talent. While mystery shrouds much of her life, Sappho's legacy as one of history's greatest poets is undeniable
