Term
Sappho
Definition
Opposed society of her time. Gave more credit to emotions and personal values. Believed that love shakes one so fundamentally that one can glimpse truth in that chaos. Allowed "bittersweet" love (in her time emotions were though of as being states and could not exist in opposition, ie both happy & sad).
