    There is ground for scholarly discussion in the last paragraph. Mr Lambrou is indirectly quoted as saying that new historical research has uncovered that Sappho had a family and committed suicide for the love of a man, and hence was probably no lesbian in the sexual sense. That surprised me.

    Is anyone aware of such research?
