    Some scholars question how personal Sappho's erotic poems actually are: http://nyer.cm/AQTvngX pic.twitter.com/H4caURodh1

        I am a bit perplexed as to why the personal nature of her erotic poems would be questioned in the same breath the personal nature of the brother’s poem is held up with excitement as confirmation of her fraternal relations.

        Also, when discussing the past context of lesbian referring to women that were particularly keen on fellatio, and then also considering the erotic descriptions of women in sappho’s work, it is curious to me that a known third option isn’t considered—perhaps she was bisexual. 🤗

        In Greece and elsewhere in the Balkans there is a tradition of singing, or poetry, in the both male and female "voice" practiced by artists of both genders. So, it is reasonable to assume that was true in ancient times as well.

        "Reasonable to assume" maybe but that's not how scholarship operates

        Perhaps so, but as everything else "scholarship" is a cultural phenomenon and subject to entrenchment and ossification. Also, much of what is accepted as scholarly orthodoxy tends to fall under the wheel of time. I might, of course, be wrong, a victim of wishful thinking.
