Who was the first lesbian ever?

Answer 1

We don't know the answer. There was a famous Greek poet, Sappho, who was born on the island of Lesbos, somewhere around 630 BCE. Sappho wrote many poems about the beauty of other women.

Here is a piece addressed to a bride getting married:

And how you laugh your charming laugh. Why it

makes my heart flutter within my breast,

because the moment I look at you, right then, for me,

to make any sound at all won't work any more.

My tongue has a breakdown and a delicate

- all of a sudden - fire rushes under my skin.

With my eyes I see not a thing, and there is a roar

that my ears make.

Sweat pours down me and a trembling

seizes all of me; paler than grass

am I, and a little short of death

do I appear to me.

Answer 2

It is impossible to determine who the first lesbian was, as same-sex relationships have existed throughout history across various cultures. The concept of sexual orientation as we know it today is a modern construct.
