Homosexuality in ancient Greece - Sapphic love

Sappho, a poet from the island of Lesbos, was mistress of a school of girls and wrote love poems to many of her young students, with whom she often fell in love and who often reciprocated her feelings. She is thought to have written close to 12,000 lines of poetry on her love for other women. Of these, only about 600 lines have survived concerted efforts to obliterate her works. As a result of her fame in antiquity, she and her land have become emblematic of love between women.
In general, the historical record of same-sex love between women is sparse. This is thought to be due at least in part to the dominant male role in writing and preserving historical documents.
