Powerful Fragments by Sappho (written 2600 years ago!)

Hey everyone

Today we are talking about BOOKS! |Specifically, this penguin classics book full of Sappho fragments. I was blown away when I first learned about this incredible writer, and the more I read the more I am thrilled by her exciting words about femininity, love, desire, war, family and education. She spoke truths and about concepts which would lead to heated conversations 2600 years later. Here I have collated (which is the word I was looking for in the video haha) a list of quotes and fragments which I found particularly powerful and moving. Enjoy!

If you want to learn more about Sappho, I've left some links below which may interest you.
