Sappho, the mythical Greek poetess, was born on Lesbos, probably in Mytilene, around 600 BC. C., at a time when precisely that island played a decisive role in the genesis of Western lyric. We know little about her life, except that she revolved, like her poetic production, around a decisive circle of friends. The "house of the servants of the Muses" will be the stage where love will appear in its purest and most diverse states: longing, jealousy, farewells, which thanks to its gift of poetry continue to produce a new and powerful commotion in our spirit. . In Sappho's love for her friends, sensuality, desire and religion are confused in an eagerness to search for a new value opposed to the traditional ones: beauty. Throughout the centuries authors such as Plato, Catullus, Petrarch, Ronsard, Leopardi, Hölderlin, Byron or Rilke, among many others, have admired the work of Sappho, considering it an indisputable summit of universal poetry.
