I have loved Sappho in translation and I love to hear her read in Greek even though I can't really understand or translate it myself. I remember returning with a friend from Crete into the house I shared with my then boyfriend*, a Classicist himself, then working on a verse by Sappho, and his delighted greeting of our friend which he must have been waiting HOURS to get to say: "Constantine! Come help me with my Lesbian!"


(*when I was his bisexual girlfriend rather than his mostly-queer former boyfriend, but that is a tale for another time and that time is perhaps never)
