Ooop, caught my mistake hah. Thanks! I'll edit it. Dunno why I put Rome lol. Her poems are interesting though. The whole "Sappho and her friend" take is legitimate but I think she was at least bi, though. With lines like:
"Although clumsy, Mnasidica has a more shapely figure than our gentle Gyrinno"
Or,
"The gods bless you May you sleep then On some tender Girl friend's breast"
I think about her poetry often haha. Though my favorite is:
"Although they are Only breath, words which I command are immortal"
Fuckin iconic ๐
