The lyric poems that Sappho was best at writing were solo harp songs.
Sappho, a famous female lyric poet in ancient Greece, wrote many love poems, wedding songs, hymns, inscriptions, etc. throughout her life. It is generally believed that she was born into a noble family on the island of Lesbos. It is said that her father liked poetry, and under his father's influence, Sappho also became obsessed with poetry writing.
She was the first poet to describe personal love and loss. He was expelled from his hometown when he was young. The reason may be related to the local political struggle. After being allowed to return, a girls' school was opened. There were many rumors circulating in ancient times that were detrimental to her reputation, but judging from some materials, she was actually very respected by the villagers.
Character introduction:
At that time, Greek women had to seek family consent before they could get married, especially aristocratic women. There is no way to verify whether Sappho was willing. We only know that she married a nobleman when she came of age and gave birth to a daughter. However, it was not long before she chose to leave her husband and family. She first lived in Sicily for a while, then returned to her native country, where she spent the rest of her life.
On Lesbos, Sappho established a girls' school to teach girls to write poetry. At that time, many young girls came here to worship her. Sappho nurtured them with the love of a flower protector, and at the same time protected their growth like a mother. She wrote many touching love poems and wedding songs for these fresh and beautiful girls like flowers.
