Sappho was a renowned lyric poet from the Greek island of Lesbos who lived around 630–570 BC. Celebrated in antiquity as one of the greatest poets—often called the “Tenth Muse”—she wrote songs meant to be performed with music, though most of her work now survives only in fragments, with the Ode to Aphrodite as the only complete poem.

Very little is known with certainty about her life. She likely came from an aristocratic family, had several brothers, and may have had a daughter named Cleïs. Some traditions claim she was exiled to Sicily and later died by suicide, though many of these stories are considered unreliable or mythical by modern scholars.

Sappho’s poetry focused on personal emotions, especially love, as well as themes of family and religion. Her writing is admired for its vivid imagery, clarity, and emotional intensity. While her work was highly influential in ancient Greece and preserved in scholarly canons, it continues to shape literature today. She is also an enduring cultural symbol of love between women, with the terms “sapphic” and “lesbian” derived from her name and homeland.
