Sappho – Loosely 630/612 BC - 570 BC
Born on the Island of Lesbos, and considered by the Alexandrians one of the 9 lyric poets, little is known for certain about her life. The bulk of her poetry, which was well-known and greatly admired through much of antiquity, has been lost; however, her immense reputation has endured through surviving fragments.
Called by Plato “the 10th muse,” only one poem has survived complete: Fragment 1, the Hymn to Aphrodite.
