Sappho's First Poem
When reading Sappho's Poem 1, I actually started to smile. Her words were very elegant and smooth, and she was very shameless about her sexuality, which was probably not accepted in her time. Aphrodite's portrayal was very gentle and accepting of her. It brings a sense of calm, and I wish that more of her poems were saved throughout history, because we could see into the mind of someone’s relationship with a goddess that was quite unique.
