Sappho (/ˈsæfoʊ/; Attic Greek Σαπφώ [sapːʰɔ̌ː], Aeolic Greek Ψάπφω, Psappho [psápːʰɔː]) was a Greek lyric poet, born on the island of Lesbos. The Alexandrians included her in the list of nine lyric poets. She was born sometime between 630 and 612 BCE, and it is said that she died around 570 BCE, but 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.
The only contemporary source for Sappho's life is her own poetry, and scholars are skeptical of reading it biographically. Later biographical accounts are also unreliable.
Strabo indicates that Sappho was the contemporary of Alcaeus of Mytilene (born c. 620 BCE) and Pittacus (c. 645–570 BCE), and according to Athenaeus, she was the contemporary of Alyattes of Lydia (c. 610–560 BCE). The Suda, a 10th-century Byzantine encyclopædia, dates her to the 42nd Olympiad (612/608 BCE), meaning either that she was born then or that this was her floruit. The versions of Eusebius state that she was famous by the first or second year of the 45th or 46th Olympiad (between 600 and 594 BCE). Taken together, these references make it likely that she was born c. 620 BCE, or a little earlier.

Genres: Drama,Papyrology expert, Margaret Mountford goes in search of the truth behind the legend of Sappho - the most controversial writer of the ancient world and the first authentic woman’s voice in western history. The mysterious discovery of a lost papyrus containing the words to songs unheard for seventeen hundred years sends Margaret on a journey to explore the truth about Sappho. Was she indeed the first lesbian, a priestess, prostitute, a stern schoolmistress or an aristocratic lady of leisure as readers over the centuries have variously alleged? We ask how each generation’s view of the archetypal liberated woman of letters tells us as much about us and our fears and concerns as it does about her.

In antiquity Sappho was referred to as "the Poetess," just as Homer was called "the Poet." Plato hailed her as "the tenth Muse," and she was honored on coins and with civic statuary.

Movie Sappho with song by Lama( Лама) - Znayesh yak bolyt' (Do you know how it hurts).
From a production of the New York Greek Drama Company in 1987, Sappho's poem set to music by Eve Beglarian, sung in ancient Greek by Andrea Goodman, accompanying herself on a 7-string lyre. Directed by Peter Steadman.
The song is ΕΠIΘAΛAMIO THΣ ΣAΠΦOYΣ (Epithalamio tis Sapfous), taken from the collection of recreated Greek music made by Petros Tabouris (ΠΕΤΡΟΣ ΤΑΜΠΟΥΡΗΣ): Melos Arheon (MEΛOΣ APXAION) - Vol.1 Secular Music of Greek Antiquity. Fragment 111: ἴψοι δἡ τὁ μἐλαθρoν, ὑμἠναoν, ἁἐρρετε, τἐκτoνες ἄνδρες· ὑμἠναoν, γάμβρoς εἱς ἐρχεται ἶσoς Ἄρευι, ὑμἠναoν, ἄνδρoς μεγάλω πoλυ μἐσδων. ὑμἠναoν. Oh the roof on high, sing hymnaios, raise up, craftsmen, sing hymnaios. The bridegroom comes just like Ares, a man much bigger than a big man. Sing hymnaios. *** Sappho (Σαπφώ) of Lesbos (Λέσβος), lived in the VII-VI century BC, and was a great lyric poet of Ancient Greece.

Met this girl last night,
She's a real life dancer
The kind that will change your life
She just stepped right up and sat down,
Took a brand new tiara and laying it on the ground
She said,
Are you healthy?
Do my pheromones make you happy?
How do you tell a child that there's no God up in the sky,
And it's all a lie,
For Nothing
How do you tell a son that his daddy left his mum when she fell in love with a girl like you?
Ohhh
With a girl like Sappho
With a girl like you
Ohhh
With a girl like Sappho
With a girl like you
Took a ride in her car,
She had back seat speakers
She took me to her favourite bar.
She kicked off her heels again,
Took a swing at the lampshade
And whispered softly in my ear,
Are you healthy?
Do my pheromones make you happy?
How do you tell a child that there's no God up in the sky,
And it's all a lie,
For nothing
How do you tell a son that his daddy left his mum when she fell in love with a girl like you?
Ohhh
With a girl like Sappho
With a girl like you
Ohhh
With a girl like Sappho
With a girl like you
Are you healthy?
Do my pheromones make you happy?
How do you tell a child that there's no God up in the sky,
And it's all a lie,
For nothing
How do you tell a son that his daddy left his mum when she fell in love with a girl like you?
Ohhh
With a girl like Sappho
With a girl like you
Ohhh
With a girl like Sappho
