But I say it is whatever one loves.’ Sappho was a lyric poet who lived from around 630 to 570 BC, gave a voice to female desire at a time when women’s experiences and emotions were rarely recorded. While there is limited information about Sappho's life, she was born on the Greek island of Lesbos, and by the 19th century the term "lesbian" – an inhabitant of Lesbos – was being used to signify a woman who loves other women. This water-jar made around 450 BC is thought to depict Sappho, accompanied by three attendants. Discover more LGBTQ+ histories in the collection with our Desire, Love, and Identity object trail.
