Sappho (630 ~ 560 BC), a famous female lyric poet in ancient Greece, wrote a lot of love poems, wedding songs, poems praising gods and inscriptions in her life. It is generally believed that she was born in a noble family in Lesbos, Jylas. It is said that her father likes poetry, and under his influence, Sappho is also fascinated by poetry creation. She was the first poet to describe personal love and lovelorn. He was expelled from his hometown when he was young, which may be related to the local political struggle. After being allowed to return to China, she started a girls' school. In ancient times, there were many statements that damaged her reputation, but according to some information, she was actually respected by the villagers.
? At that time, Greek women, especially aristocratic women, had to get the consent of their families before getting married. Now it is impossible to prove whether Sappho is willing or not, except that she married a noble and gave birth to a daughter as an adult, but soon after, she chose to leave her husband and family. She first lived in Sicily for a while, and then returned to her hometown, where she spent the rest of her life.
On Lesbos Island, Sappho established a girls' school to teach girls to write poems. At that time, many young girls came here and worshipped at her door. Sappho raised them with the love of the escort, and at the same time cared for their growth like a mother, and wrote many touching love poems and wedding songs for these fresh and beautiful girls.
? The ancient Greeks had great tolerance for love between the same sex, and homosexual feelings prevailed between teachers and students. Teachers give lectures to dispel doubts and students reciprocate, so these poems with strong homosexual feelings were not banned at that time and were widely praised. Sappho's poems touched many people, and the residents of Rhodes are proud to have produced such a talented poet. To show their love and pride, when Sappho was still alive, they cast her head on silver coins.
? Sappho was a famous poet in ancient Greece and one of the few female poets in the ancient world. Sappho committed suicide by jumping off a cliff with her heart broken because she was rejected by her female lover, and died young. Other historians believe that the poet did not die until around 560 BC.
