Poetess
Little is known of the poetess, Sappho. No, let me try again. Little is known of THE POETESS (Sappho). By "The Poetess" I am referring to the ancient Greek poet from Eresos or Mytilene on the island of Lesbos. She was known, at that time in history and for centuries after, for her lyric poetry, written to be sung accompanied by music. I emphasize "The Poetess" because she was referred to as such by classic scholars of ancient Greece and Rome, in much the same way that Shakespeare is often referred to as The Bard. Although there is an argument that Robert Burns also deserves the title and may have been known as The Bard before the title was attributed to Shakespeare.
