The Life of the poet, Sappho Moore Information: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sappho I haven't been able to find anything amusing lately.

I spent a a good part of my formal (and informal) edumacation immersed in my studies of antiquity from both a history and a literary viewpoint.

Sophocles' "Antigone" is one of my all-time favorite tragedies.
