“…ska de lärda vid biblioteket i Alexandria ha fyllt hela nio böcker med Sapfos poesi, men av denna diktning återstår idag bara ett fyrtiotal fragment. 5 Poetens biografi är likaledes fragmenterad, och mycket lite kan med säkerhet sägas om den högt firade poeten som på 600-talet f.Kr. gjöt nytt liv i Lesbos anrika sång-och diktartradition.…”

The time of the two Sapphos: The other Sappho and her place in literary history In 1761, the Swedish poet Hedvig Charlotta Nordenflycht published ”Fruentimrets Försvar”, a poem in defence of women. In it, she mentions two Sapphos, both brilliant ancient poets. Who is this second Sappho? Where does she come from? In this article, I trace the other Sappho’s history, from Aelian’s Historical Miscellany written in the 3rd century to Allier de Hauteroche’s Notice sur la Courtesan Sapho, Née a Érésos, published in 1822. I argue that this second Sappho, of whom no historical record exists, has had a twofold purpose in literary history: on the one hand to make sense of the many contradictory stories of Sappho, on the other hand to free the ”real” Sappho from accusations of sexual licentiousness.
