Sappho, a representative of the Aeolian tribe, is a legendary feature witch is more known by the name of Psapfa. According to facts, she was born in Eressos. Her family was very powerful at the time. Her father's name was Skamandronimos and her mother's name was Klida. She lived from 628 until 568BC. Her relation with her family were kind of stormy. She had three brothers. Larisos which she praised with her poems, Haraksos who she accused him, for the relation he had with Rodopi a prostitute, and Evrigios who was never mentioned by no other author except Suidas.

    Political reasons convinced her into leaving for Cicely along with other members of the high society. After a few years she returned gifted with clearer vision and kindness, advantages that made her well known among intellectual people. That fact is confirmed by the number of her admirers and female students who were learning arts such as music and poetry along with the arts of floriculture, decoration, house holding and  good manners. She was accompaning the song and the footsteps of young girls in several occasions outside the walls of her school especially on spiritual celebrations for ancient goddesses such as Athena or Hera.

    Her fame was growing due to the value of her poems. Statues and paintings were not the only things that were made for her. Coins with her face were produced in Mitilene among with other places. In one of her known statues named ‘Kapitoliano’ which is preserved extremely well until today, the name ‘Sappho Eressia’, was curved by a hand of our time. Excavations brought some coins into the light too. Among them, there was a silver coin which has a woman’s head, decorated with a garland in the front side. A woman’s figure holding a harp among with a description of ‘Sappho Lesvis’ are on the backside.

    Only a small number numbered to 120 of her writings is saved until today among with a song. Alexandrians, in appreciation for her life’s work, divided it to nine books giving to each of them a name of the nine muses. Platon, the great Greek philosopher, gave her the title of the ‘tenth muse’. In present time, her poems, discovered in Egyptian papyrus in the 19^th century, are currently exposed in libraries of Florence, Grats, Oxford, Hague, Berlin and London.

    It is very well known that some poets specializing in comedy, tried to make a laughing stok out of her by representing αher as a nymphomaniac, who because of the failure of her relationship with Pheona, committed suicide by jumping of a Lefkada’s cliff into the sea. After some time her memory was painted black once again by the Romans who accused her of perversions. These accusations lived on as the time passed until our days. Now, scientific research and evidence proved that none of these accusations where true. By common logic, if any of these accusations were true, she wouldn’t be appreciated or praised in that degree. She could not accuse her own brother for his unethical relationship or even more she couldn’t possibly denied Alkeos’s feelings for her. Therefore it is not proper for such things to be told about her especially when, even in her biography she is praising rightchusness.

    M. Ross Macaulay an English poet gathered an extremely big number of books about her in the county of Eressos. She is also the founder of Sapphos’s house-museum, nearby the anciet city, which was the exact place where Sappho saw the light for the first time. Macaulay expressed her love and admiration for ‘the immortal muse’ by setting up a statue of fine marble in the center of Mitilini (March 21, 1965).
