where is Lesbia?

Question

I've always wondered where Lesbians' motherland is located.

Answer 1

Lesbos is a Greek island in the Mediterranean. The ancient poet Sappho of Lesbos was a lesbian, which is why Sapphic is another adjective for lesbians, although Sapphic is rarely used today.

Answer 2

Lesbos (Greek: Λέσβος - Lésvos see also List of traditional Greek place names) is a Greek island located in the northeastern Aegean Sea; its inhabitants are called Lesvioi. In Turkish is called Midilli. Lesbos is part of the Lesbos Prefecture, the third largest Greek island and the seventh largest in the Mediterranean. It has an area of 1630 km² (630 square miles) with 320 kilometres (230 miles) of coastline. Its population is approximately 90,000 about a third of which live in the capital city, Mytilene, located in the southeastern part of the island. The remaining population is distributed in small towns and villages. The largest towns are Kalloni, Plomari, Ayassos, Eressos, and Molyvos, the ancient Mythymna. Mytilene was founded in the 11th century BCE by the family Penthilidae who arrived from Thessaly in mainland Greece and ruled until the popular revolt (590-580 BCE) led by Pittacus .

The modern meaning of the word "lesbian" is derived from the Victorian interpretation of the poems of Sappho whose poetry was taken to mean sexual rather than emotional or platonic love between her and other women. Because of this association, Lesbos and especially the town of Eressos, the birthplace of Sappho, are visited frequently by lesbian tourists to this day.
