Here you can learn about the achievements and wonders of the magnificent city of Knossos and Late Minoan II civilization, and here too are posted some of the lovely photos I took of Knossos on my visit there May 2 2012. Bull Fresco, Knossos (photo by Richard Vallance Janke, May 2 2012)

Sappho, spelled (in the dialect spoken by the poet) Psappho, (born c. 610, Lesbos, Greece — died c. 570 BCE). A lyric poet greatly admired in all ages for the beauty of her writing style.
Her language contains elements from Aeolic vernacular and poetic tradition, with traces of epic vocabulary familiar to readers of Homer. She has the ability to judge critically her own ecstasies and grief, and her emotions lose nothing of their force by being recollected in tranquillity.
