  • on He is more than a hero by Sappho, on November 27, 2006

    Amazing

    This is my favourite piece by Sappho, in fact, my favourite poem of all time. It is a poem describing the nature of love and jealousy. As far as I know, most believe it was written for one of her female students who she had fallen in love with, who was not with her, but with this man instead. Sappho could only watch from a distance. Sappho's intensity of emotion is absolutely inspiring.
