-'''Sappho''' was a Greek poetess from the island of [[Wikipedia:Lesbos Island|Lesbos]], who was widely regarded in ancient times are the best poet Greece had produced. Some of her poems involved warm sentiments toward women, and she acquired a reputation for what is now called, from her birthplace, [[Lesbianism]]. This reputation was cited by the early Church as the reason for specially searching out and destroying copies of her work. Today, only a few fragments are known, and only her reputation survives.
