Sappho

Sappho, a poet shrouded in mystery with little known about her life, hails as one of the most celebrated literary figures from Archaic Greece, born around 630 BC. Renowned as one of the foremost lyricists and poets of her era, her verses eloquently conveyed emotions and language in a uniquely inventive and beautiful manner.

While her physical appearance remains a subject of debate, interpretations gleaned from her poetry and depictions on ancient Greek vases suggest attributes such as olive skin and ultra-feminine, graceful features befitting the legendary poet of ancient Greece.
