Picture of Sappho


This work is reproduction of an Charles-August Mengin (1853-1933)

Sappho: born in 630BC at the island of Lesbos.
So accomplished she was that Plato suggested she will be recognized as another muse. The island acknowledged her and her great accomplishments in poetry and her effort in enlightening of a human spirit and mind by coining coins with her image.
