Several Pimp's Cups/Chalices

Unitarian Universalist

The love god with his golden curls puts a bright ball in my hand, shows a girl in her fancy shoes, and suggests that I take her. Not that girl -- she's the other kind, one from Lesbos. Disdainfully, nose turned up at my silver hair, she makes eyes at the ladies. -translated by Richmond Lattimore Anacreon was a mid-sixth century Greek poet from the island of Teos. He is noted for writing almost exclusively about the pleasures of life, love, wine, and banquets. I am flummoxed that even when faced with poetry fragments like the one above some people continue to doubt that lesbianism was known and practiced among the ancient Greeks. Even if you choose to read Sappho's heady verses inspired by young women as romantic friendship rather than frankly sexually charge poetry, you cannot deny that Anacreon understood lesbianism and even associated it with the isle of Lesbos.
