Sappho hailed from Lesbos and is best known for her poetry of admiration of young women (hence the term lesbian).
Later, it was believed she held an unrequited love for the young lad Phaon; when he repulsed her advances, she jumped from a rock and killed herself.
The rock is known as Sappho's leap.
