i found this at the british museum this summer and it is my favorite thing ever(if anyone can’t read it, the first photo is a sculpture of a woman with a lyre getting approached by a dude with a plaque that says“alkaios attempting to seduce sappho? both figures were famous lyrical poets of the arcaic period. aristotle tells us that alkaios was enamoured with sappho but his love was not returned. made on melos about 460 bc.”) -- source link
