The ancient Greeks identified the island of Lesbos as an island inhabited only by women.

The word "lesbian" is derived from the poems of Sappho,
who was a Ancient Greek lyric poet, born on the island of Lesbos. In history and poetry texts, she is sometimes associated with the city of Mytilene on Lesbos

Sappho wrote love poems that were addressed to women and had powerful emotional content directed towards other women. She has long been considered to have had homosexual inclinations and her poems have frequently been interpreted as expressing homosexual love.

The word lesbian itself is derived from the name of the island of Lesbos from which she came

Because of this association, Lesbos and especially the town of Eresos, birthplace of Sappho, are visited frequently by lesbian tourists.

Sad, but true.
