Sappho was an ancient Greek lyric poet from the island of Lesbos. Revered in antiquity as one of the greatest poets, her work is known for its intense emotion, focus on personal relationships, and exploration of themes like love, desire, and beauty. Though much of her poetry is lost, the surviving fragments offer a glimpse into a unique and powerful voice that has resonated through centuries.

It is the Muses
who have caused me
