Willing & Fable

Ep 70 - Sappho - Beyond Her Lesbian Label


Listen Later


To kick off Season 3, the Willing & Fable team explores the true history of the Greek poetess Sappho. Rowan and Tracey discus whether or not she truly fits the “lesbian” and “sapphic love” labels that were named based on her romantic work. (Plus, Tracey may just have written the podcast's most amazing poem!)
