Even though I'm from I'm Greek (but my nationality is Cypriot) I don't get taught about ancient Greek history or Greek literature. It makes me happy to watch videos from Ted-Ed so I can learn more about the country's literature (and generally many countries literature)

Be aware of your own worth, use all power to achieve it. Create an ocean from a dewdrop. Don't beg for the light of moon, obtain it from the spark within you.

Sappho is one of the greatest lyrical poets ever. Her poems, especially in the original with her beautiful vocabulary and placing of the words, are amazing!
