In honor of Pride Month, we are celebrating Sappho of Lesbos, known as the \"gay poet of the ancient world\".
Sappho wrote with deep passion about her love for women, and her work was adored in her own time. They even put her face on coins while she was alive. Though most of her poetry is lost, the fragments we have still pulse with timeless desire and longing.
Join Sarah and Alora as they explore the poetry that gave us the words \"sapphic\" and \"lesbian\" and discover how a woman from a small Greek island one of the most beloved poets of the ancient world.
