Ever Wondered What Sappho Would Have Listened To? Now You Don’t Have To:

This article is written by a student writer from the Her Campus at Scranton chapter.

For my final project in my Intro to World Lit class, I had to create a playlist based on one of the authors we talked about. I chose Sappho of Lesbos. She was one of the firsy openly gay public figures, living on the island of Lesbos (hence the term lesbian). I feel as though this playlist encapsulates both her and her only complete poem. I unironically listen to it often. I hope you enjoy! 

            Song One: Sappho by delian 

            Song Two: Alrighty Aphrodite by Peach Pit

            Song Three: You Belong with me by Taylor Swift

            Song Four: Hopelessly Devoted to You by Olivia Newton – John

            Song Five: Make You Feel My Love by Adele

            Song Six: Adore You by Harry Styles

            Song Seven: Absolutely Smitten by dodie

            Song Eight: I Believe in a Thing Called Love by The Darkness
