so like while studying history i went search about this roman art piece called “The Poetess” that im totally obsessed with, and turns out the author is a woman, and also an lgbt icon, like what the fuck
Sappho and Erinna in a Garden at Mytilene, 1864, Simeon Solomon
she’s called Sappho, she’s from an island called Lesbos, and that’s where the word “lesbian” and “sapphic” come from, she wrote poems about the desire between women in the roman times, so cute
