I gave a guest lecture on Sappho and the Greek lyric poets for Valentine’s Day. What did all of you do?

It was not the best lecture on Sappho and the Greek lyric poets I will ever give in my life. But some of the class seemed to enjoy it.

I wouldn't go that far, I think. But I should be able to live with myself.
