Who was the favourite poet of great ancient authors like Plato, Ovid, and Catullus? If you guessed a short, dark-haired woman from the island of Lesbos, you guessed correctly. But who is this great “Sappho”, and why has nothing great of hers survived? A deceitful amateur production, inspired by fragments of historical truth, attempts to answer these questions.
