Welcome to an episode of Sappho, sex, rock and roll. Discover the first female voice of Western literature.
This singer-songwriter from Lesbos pioneered female poetry and music. Only 1 percent of her work is left so this exclusive interview is seriously exclusive. It is a common misconception that Sappho wrote about desire, childbirth, the beauties of the natural world, and just girly things. But the reality is she wrote about politics, tyranny, and sexuality. This was all burnt by some angry, prudish Christians.
We ask compelling questions such as, what constitutes the female gaze, and how does it differ from the male gaze? And, how different were female drinking parties from male 'symposiums?'
