Thanks for your comment. What an interesting thought. Ancient Greeks did meet black people, although realistically they would have been more likely to meet men than women. I'm sure black women would have been a wonderful inspiration to Sappho. She has certainly been an important inspiration to many black female artists over the years
Very good and informative but the Myth is a real story, dont confuse it with fairy-tale or para-Myth which is not! Nowadays Myth as a word has been suffered the change of its meaning so it would be nice not to reproduse it that way! :)
Thanks for commenting - we're glad you enjoyed it. We're happy with the word choice 'myth' because while there were real wars at Troy, the stories of 'the Trojan War' are just that - stories - myths. Key works such as the Iliad show influences from several different periods and the influence of Near Eastern works, so they're not 'history' as we understand it today, they're a product of a myth-making story-telling culture
Tbh, I only recently learned about the Bronze age collapse and that nearly everything we "know" about ancient Greece was actually written 500+ years later by decendants going from oral histories after centuries of disruptions; natural disasters, famine, plague, and war, loss of cities, gov't, and culture.
What a wonderful video. Well done. The song is enchanting as well. It is a tragedy we don't have more of Sappho's poetry.
Thank you. Excellent presentation 👏
This is amazing in all ways ! Incredible video. Thanks for sharing this !
You're welcome
That had me crying
This is wonderful. Is there any way of purchasing/downloading the music for Fragment 44? It's haunting & lovely.

I wish Sappho new some black women I wonder what she would write about them

So well presented. The music playing on the background is so enchanting and hypnotic, whish I could download it.🥹
