@Kerkylas you hear me?
bonetonelord
Of course it was a joke. She was so legendarily gay that both her name and hometown are literally synonymous with gay women.

' Sappho and her Friend' is one of the funniest subreddits out there.

Why don't you go back to your home on whore island??
damogen
I mean, she could’ve been a lesbian. But being married to “all cocks” sounds like something else to me
hannahbutnotreally
Nah, they were just roommates... y'know... besties.
damogen
I didn’t know one thing excluded the other.
hannahbutnotreally
They don't, it's just kind of a running joke about lesbian history :)
damogen
yeah I get that. I just think that a woman saying she is married to "all cocks" is a weird example to use to illustrate that
hannahbutnotreally
It's a joke. She's telling a joke... like yes, my husband "Manly McMannerson the Man". It's silly.
HowDidIEndUpHereAgain
So like were they both kangaroos or did they just fuck kangaroos?
RandywithanI
So did she make up a fake husband to repel gross men?
EccentricNimoy
Covidnineteen
She likely made up her husband as a joke, particularly since a lot of Greek philosophers were cunts to her
Keairan
That's honestly a tidbit from Byzantium. We have access to her poetry as the only primary source on her. And that's fragmented. Going by (1)
Keairan
what fragments we do have, her having a husband isn't outside the realm of possibility, but she definitely preferred women.
semanticsamsquamtch
Having a sense of humour makes you a lesbian?
TheMrrigan
The fact that Sappho routinely wrote about loving women and then obviously made up a name for a fake husband makes one a lesbian
semanticsamsquamtch
I understand now, thanks for the context. I had never heard of this person before now.
iusedtodream
Sapho's poetry is still relevant and beautiful. Boss ass bitch.
ArtfullySane
She even has a popular subreddit dedicated to her.
Zeigabibblez
its a great subreddit i'd suggest to everyone, I never knew historians could be so blatant about gay erasure in history.

If you can authentically tap into your humanity then humans will always connect
SouperScott
I have no idea what this means.
Scorch052
If you empathize with people and make an effort to help shoulder their burdens, you will find others who return the favor.
SouperScott
Yeah, but if that's human, then violence is every bit the same as that. Everything we do is human.
TheTimeless
Who said anything about violence? We know that's also human, but literally no one was talking about it
SithElephant
Shame there is fuck all of it.
A2DY79
There's less of her poetry than on the back of a shampoo bottle.
SithElephant
'Only approximately 650 lines of Sappho's poetry still survive, of which just one poem – the "Ode to Aphrodite" – is complete

Fun fact, she's also the reason that homosexual women are called lesbians.
nonCanadianGoose
And the term sapphic
Fhaegar
Not because of her. Because of lebos, where she lived; it was a rumour that it was full of homosexual women
rabbithlon
And why do you think it was full of homosexual women?
thorkild91
That’s not a correction. That’s just providing back detail and clarification.
InboxMeYourHDGIFs
Yes, because of her. The Victorians that were studying sexuality had an odd fascination with her, and were the first to use the term to

refer to homosexual women.

I'm SO glad they didn't go with LESBOans. That I is much less awkward

"I'm a lesbian." 2/2
AxelTenveils
Yeah, that's the actual reaction. In fact they don't say they are from Lesbos, but from Mytilene, since in Greek it would sound like 1/2
