"Platos praise of the poets Sappho and Anacreon Phaedrus 235c is a sincere tribute to their vivid presentations of the shock of love." Sappho's poetry centers on passion and love for various personages and genders. The word "lesbian" derives from the name of the island of her birth Lesbos; her name is also the origin of its less common synonym sapphic. The narrators of many of her poems speak of infatuations and love sometimes requited sometimes not for various women but descriptions of physical acts between women are few.
