To begin Pride Month, we will read some of the works of the Ancient Greek Lyricist Sappho. Unlike many stories I have done in the past, these selected works will have an undertone of music, as is Sappho's style!
She was given nicknames such as the “Tenth Muse” (in Greek mythology, there are nine) and whose work highly spoke about her reverence, love, and desire for women, and who today is known as the symbol of love and desire between women with Sapphic and Lesbian deriving from her name and homeland in Greece called Lesbos.
So travel with me as we discover the world of LGBTQ authors from when they could not be genuinely open and be who they were born to be on Riverside Readings, a dramatic reading radio show hosted by me, Trent Mylie.
Fun Fact: Centuries after her death, statues, pottery, and even coins were made in her likeness and admiration!
