About this audiobook

Sappho is one of the most popular and elusive figures of Greek myth and culture. Although more influential than Shakespeare and literally worshipped as a goddess, little is known about her life outside of the handful of poetry fragments that survived the ravages of time. Over the centuries she has been portrayed as a chaste schoolteacher, a lusty lesbian showgirl, or a lovesick poet who died pining for the handsome fisherman Phaon. Here Sappho is an asexual woman who experiences the world with love, passion, and joy. The Tenth Muse isn't a loveless goddess but a caring human woman with a life full of love and meaning.  For centuries, Sappho has been condemned for who she loved. But what if the love she held in her heart wasn't physical? If the world's most passionate poet asexual, does that make the love in her heart less real?
