Lesbian Day of Visibility Special
Happy Lesbian Day of Visibility!
Today we have a very special episode covering stories of Lesbian desire. There is a spell found in the Greek Magical Papyri which was intended to bind Serapias to Herais, two women whose desire to be together transcended even death. The other stories of Lesbian desire are drawn from the incomparable poetry of Sappho. Sappho calls upon Aphrodite, Goddess of Love, to aid in her courting. Later she describes Anactoria as the best sight in the world, and describes the visceral full-body reaction to seeing her girlfriend.
