Was Ancient Greek Poet Sappho Gay ?
WERE THEY GAY? SAPPHO Person in Question: The great Greek poet Sappho, or “Psappho,” as she spelled it, was born around 610 B.C. on the island of Lesbos, off the coast of Asia Minor. She came from an upper-class, perhaps noble, family; her father was probably a wine merchant. (Sappho wrote almost no definite information on herself, and her commentators and biographers are often hazy or contradictory.) She had three brothers.
