What do you think about the queer reading of the relationship of Leto and Niobe from a fragment of a work by Sappho which went something like "Before they were mothers, Leto and Niobe were the most devoted friends"

I had missed that fragment entirely! But now when I skimmed through my English translation of Sappho by Anne Carson I found it. "Leto and Niobe were beloved friends." Certainly puts an even more tragic twist to the myth, no matter if you see them as former friends or former lovers.

A pretty pair, and so compatible

"I think you ought to tell him, honey... he looks kinda confused"

"I'm sorry, Dave... I should've told you previously, but Jasmine and I are a couple now. I'm moving in with her tonight."

can I have a fact about lesbians?

[isopod-girl-antenna]

Sometimes I remember that all lesbianism is named after 1 really gay lady from 4000 years ago. Whether you use the term Sapphic or lesbian, it still is from her which is hilarious, hope she enjoys being women loving incarnate

[prokopetz]

In the native dialect of Lesbos, Sappho's name is spelled "Psappho". I sometimes picture what it would have been like if that had been the spelling modern English had gone with. Imagine being psapphic.
