Sappho is the
greatest lyric poet of her age, and part
of a politically influential family on
Lesbos. While she is a celebrity
throughout the known world, it's less

own academy, a recent addition to the
University of Lesbos, she is an expert
in dealing with Amazons, and acts as the
island's main negotiator with the
stubborn civilisation. It was in this
capacity that she became close - very

during a diplomatic visit a decade ago,
and the passion still remains evident...
