SAPPHO OF LESBOS Colleague Daisy Dunn. Dunn explores the life of Sappho, debunking myths about her appearance and suicide. She explains that Sappho was exiled due to her family's aristocratic background during a time of political revolution. The conversation covers Sappho's disapproval of her brother's relationship with the courtesan Doricha and her professional jealousy when students left her school for rivals. Weaving is presented as a metaphor for women shaping fate. NUMBER 10 896 SAPPHO AND HER SCHOOL

Durante más de una década, la isla griega de Lesbos ha sido uno de los principales símbolos de la crisis migratoria en Europa. Punto clave de entrada a la Unión Europea en 2015, este territorio cercano a Turquía ha visto disminuir drásticamente la llegada de migrantes, en paralelo al endurecimiento de las políticas europeas y a la externalización del control de sus fronteras. Reportaje de Mortaza Behboudi para France 24.

For more than a decade, the Greek island of Lesbos has been a symbol of Europe's migration crisis. Located close to Turkey, the island was a major entry point to the European Union back in 2015. But since then, arrivals have sharply decreased as Europe has tightened its border controls and outsourced part of its migration policy. Mortaza Behboudi reports from Lesbos, where refugees have often suffered a traumatic journey.

O vinho Pramnio é uma das bebidas mais enigmáticas da Antiguidade. Citado por Homero na Ilíada e na Odisseia, ele aparece como peça central em momentos decisivos da mitologia grega — do feitiço de Circe que transformou homens em porcos às cenas de guerra e cura durante a Guerra de Troia. Mas afinal, que vinho era esse que fascinou os gregos antigos?Neste vídeo, mergulhamos nas referências históricas, literárias e médicas que cercam o Pramnio para entender por que ele era considerado um vinho potente, célebre e diferente de qualquer outro. A bebida aparece não apenas como símbolo de prazer e banquete, mas também como remédio, antídoto e elemento ritual, citado por nomes como Aristófanes, Hipócrates, Dioscórides, Plínio, o Velho e outros autores da Antiguidade.Ao longo do episódio, exploramos as hipóteses sobre seu estilo — seco ou doce, áspero ou aromático, feito de uvas sobremaduras ou de mosto escorrido — e também o grande debate sobre sua origem: seria o Pramnio um vinho ligado a um terroir específico, como a ilha de Icária, ou o nome designava uma categoria especial de vinho de guarda ou até uma antiga variedade de uva?

In dieser Folge spricht die Rheumatologin Dr. Friederike Lutz über ihre humanitären Einsätze in Uganda, Kenia, Indien, auf den Philippinen, im Libanon sowie im Flüchtlingslager Moria auf Lesbos. Schon seit Jahren leistet sie für Organisationen wie Ärzte ohne Grenzen und German Doctors medizinische Hilfe in Krisengebieten. Von Malaria über Filariosen bis zu rheumatischem Fieber – in ihrem Alltag ist sie mit Erkrankungen konfrontiert, die in Deutschland kaum vorkommen. In der Behandlung muss sie wegen knapper Medikamente oft improvisieren. Bei der Rückkehr nach Deutschland fremdelt sie manchmal mit der Unzufriedenheit mancher Patient:innen mit dem Gesundheitssystem, das eine Versorgung auf solch hohem Niveau bietet.

Möt Yolanda Bohm som besökte Kulturhuset den 27 november 2025 för att berätta om en av sina favoriter, den antika poeten Sapfo. Yolanda Bohm är poet, översättare, föreläsare och transaktivist. Hon har gett ut poesiboken "Ikon", där hon skriver om rasism, trånga kroppar och könsroller, kolonialism och förluster, men också närhet, kärlek och transhumanistisk gemenskap. Sapfo levde på ön Lesbos under 600-talet f.Kr. och räknas som en av världslitteraturens första kvinnliga poeter. Hennes dikter om kvinnlig kärlek, lust och närhet har haft en djupgående påverkan på västerländsk lyrik. Hennes namn och ö myntade begrepp som "sapfisk kärlek" och "lesbisk", och hon fortsätter att inspirera författare, aktivister och konstnärer i sin radikala närhet och språkliga klarhet. Hör Yolanda Bohm berätta om Sapfos verk och betydelse för hennes eget författarskap. Från 27 november 2025 Jingel: Lucas Brar

Even een kleine melding; luister deze podcast niet met kleine kinderen ivm het grote sint geheim. Dan de inhoud; Je hart volgen naar Lesbos terwijl je eigenlijk de aller coolste chick bent van Amsterdam? Steffi deed het. Ze ging er vol voor en kwam midden in een crisis. Ze zou een weekje blijven, maar 10 jaar later staat ze nog steeds aan het roer van 1 van de aller mooiste stichtingen ter wereld; Because we Carry. Wat een insane powervrouw is Steffi, ze plofte op de bank met haar mooie verhaal en dat ging diep. Heel diep. Want daar waar Steffi een groot hart heeft voor moeders en kinderen die het zelf niet redden, is haar eigen hart op dit moment compleet gebroken. Een maand geleden kwam Steffi er ineens alleen voor te staan. Het verdriet is heel vers, heel rauw en wij mochten er een stukje van horen. Het liefst wil ze als een zeester in bed gaan liggen, maar dat gaat natuurlijk niet met drie kinderen. Zelfs in haar diepe verdriet komt ze NOG met de mooiste wijsheden. Lieve Steffi wat was het fijn om je in de podcast te hebben. Een dikke knuffel van ons. Oh.. en laten we onze review van Onderweg naar Liefde niet vergeten.

Angel Martinez Bermejo relata su reciente visita a la isla griega de Quios, a la que llego desde Turquia aprovechando un viaje por la costa del Egeo. Una isla con facil acceso desde territorio turco, ya que Quios, Samos y Lesbos estan a muy poca distancia del litoral turco.

Blanquitud sáfica es una expresión que se refiere a la intersección de las identidades lesbianas y blancas. El término "sáfica" es un sinónimo de lésbico, que deriva de la poetisa griega Safo de Lesbos, famosa por sus poemas de amor dirigidos a mujeres. El término "blanquitud" se refiere a la condición social, cultural y política de ser una persona percibida como blanca, y a menudo conlleva una posición de privilegio en sociedades donde la raza es un factor determinante. Por lo tanto, la "blanquitud sáfica" se utiliza para hablar de las experiencias y representaciones de las mujeres lesbianas que también son blancas, especialmente en contextos donde se analiza la raza, la orientación sexual y el privilegio dentro de la comunidad LGBTQ+ y en la sociedad en general. La realización sáfica" de Saskia Niño de Rivera, aunque personalmente válida, está protegida por el privilegio de su clase social y su red de contactos. Su experiencia no puede ser tomada como representativa de la vida de la mayoría de las mujeres sáficas en México, quienes enfrentan la opresión de su sexualidad agravada por la pobreza, el machismo y el racismo, una realidad que su discurso no siempre logra abordar desde una perspectiva auténticamente interseccional.

Pètra is niet de enige B&B’er die op Lesbos woont. Dus onze trip is pas compleet als we in deze laatste aflevering van de reeks ook even langsgaan bij de B&B van Ingrid. Zij is in Nederland maar haar zoon Don wil ons wel ontvangen. Ook bellen we met Ingrid. Wat voor Lesbos is het Lesbos van Ingrid? En hoe kijkt zij terug op haar deelname en hoe ze is weggezet. Ook kunnen we eindelijk de krakkemikkige B&B verruilen voor de B&B van Pètra. Ja, het is gelukt! We mogen er een nachtje slapen. Hoe is het om daar te overnachten? En hoe bevalt de jacuzzi?

We zien voor het eerst de plek waar het zich negen weken lang allemaal afspeelde. Waar Lieske verbleef en waar Pétra haar stenen schilderde. Daar spreken we Pètra over hoe zij ooit op Lesbos is beland en hoe Lesbos het paradijs voor lesbiennes is geworden. En lukt het ons om er een nachtje te slapen? Ook spreken we operazangeres Francis van Broekhuizen. Zij is op Lesbos om op te treden. Wat betekent Lesbos voor haar als Lesbische vrouw? En tot slot stuiten we op twee vrouwen die in beeld kwamen in B&B Vol Liefde tijdens het beruchte ‘potten spotten fragment’. Zij vertellen dat ze hier helemaal niet blij mee waren.

En hoe zit het nou met Magda en Gene? Hoewel de laatste aflevering van B&B Vol Liefde 2025 er nu toch echt op zit, hoef je het nog niet zonder ons te stellen! Exclusief op Podimo zijn Timo, Stephanie en Dook morgen namelijk nog te horen in een extra aflevering waarin ze RTL van ongevraagd advies voorzien: wat zouden zij met het programma doen als ze de touwtjes in handen hadden?

In deze laatste ‘normale’ aflevering van het seizoen bespreken Timo, Dook en Stephanie welke koppels volgens hen nog steeds samen zijn. Dook kan de sekshoofden van de deelnemers niet meer aanzien, Timo vraagt zich af of de LAT-relatie van Eveline en Bart niet wat beter geregeld had kunnen worden, en Stephanie pleit voor een strengere aanpak van RTL. Morgen (11/9) bespreken Anne, Janneke en Jan de reunie, vrijdag (12/9) zijn Timo, Dook en Stephanie er nog één keer met een extra aflevering exclusief op Podimo, waar je na het weekend ook de exclusieve Lesbos-special van Eva, Timo, Till en Bo kan vinden!

De dag die je wist dat zou komen is helaas hier: het is de allerlaatste mannenmaandag van dit seizoen. Daarom zijn Steven, Jan en Anne vandaag bij elkaar gekomen in speciale outfit om een iets langere aflevering op te nemen. Anne bespreekt het oh zo zoete einde van het liefdesavontuur van Magda, en krijgt (na enkele roerige weken) zowel Steven als Jan in Team Magda. Jan geeft een ode aan Harry Potter-fan Monique, en Steven geeft zijn mening over de situatie op Lesbos. En daarmee sluiten de mannen het seizoen af.

Een bomvolle aflevering op mannenmaandag, dus Anne, Jan en Steven zaten er al heel vroeg vandaag weer klaar voor. Anne bespreekt het slotakkoord op Lesbos, waar Ingeborg vertrekt en enkel Lieske overblijft. Is er sprake van liefde tussen Lieske en Pètra, of ontbreekt het aan erotiek? Steven is terug uit Frankrijk en duidt daarom de situatie in de Franse B&B van Illya. Hoe lang duurt het nog voordat Monique ontploft? Tot slot wil Jan het graag nog even hebben over nieuwkomer Nicole in de B&B van Daniël. Waren zijn gevoelens voor Danique wel zo oprecht als hij deed lijken?

De vlag mocht uit vanmorgen, want Till is eindelijk terug van haar liefdesreis naar Napels. Ze mag zich dan ook direct uitspreken over de Italiaanse gebruiken in de B&B's, en doet vervolgens haar zegje over het achterbakse gedrag van Sylwia. Eva buigt zich (voor het eerst dit seizoen) over Dick en vraagt zich af: hoe zou zijn Tinderprofiel eruitzien? En zouden we swipen?

Eva, Till en Jan bespreken aflevering 12. Eva neemt haar tafelgenoten meer op een pottensafari, want met de komst van Petra (niet te verwarren met Pètra) lijkt de lesbische wind op Lesbos steeds harder te gaan waaien.

WIVES OF THE ROMANS: 1/8: The Missing Thread: A Women's History of the Ancient World Hardcover – July 30, 2024 by  Daisy Dunn  (Author) https://www.amazon.com/Missing-Thread-Womens-History-Ancient/dp/0593299663 Around four thousand years ago, the mysterious Minoans sculpted statues of topless women with snakes slithering on their arms. Over one thousand years later, Sappho wrote great poems of longing and desire. For classicist Daisy Dunn, these women—whether they were simply sitting at their looms at home or participating in the highest echelons of power—were up to something much more interesting than other histories would lead us to believe. Together, these women helped to make antiquity as we know it. In this monumental work, Dunn reconceives our understanding of the ancient world by emphasizing women's roles within it. The Missing Thread never relegates women to the sidelines and is populated with well-known names such as Cleopatra and Agrippina, as well as the likes of Achaemenid consort Atossa and Olympias, a force in Macedon. Spanning three thousand years, the story moves from Minoan Crete to Mycenaean Greece, from Lesbos to Asia Minor, from the Persian Empire to the royal court of Macedonia, and concludes with Rome and its growing empire. The women of antiquity are undeniably woven throughout the fabric of history, and in The Missing Thread they finally take center stage. 1593 ROMAN WOMEN

Poétesse antique de génie, Sappho reste mal connue : les Grecs, tout en reconnaissant son talent, ont pris ombrage de sa célébrité !

C dans l'air du 21 avril 2025 : Mort du pape François : l'émotion mondialeIl aura marqué l'Église par son humilité et son ouverture aux plus vulnérables. Douze ans après son arrivée au Vatican, le Pape François, de son vrai nom Mario Bergoglio, s'est éteint ce lundi matin, à l'âge de 88 ans. Premier souverain pontife non-européen, ce fils d'immigrés italiens de nationalité argentine a multiplié les déclarations en faveur de la défense des migrants, de la planète, ou encore de l'entente interreligieuse. On retiendra notamment son discours d'ouverture sur l'homosexualité : "Si une personne est gay et cherche le Seigneur avec bonne volonté, qui suis-je pour la juger ?". Surtout, le pape François s'est posé dès ses débuts comme le défenseur des plus pauvres : "Comme je voudrais une Église pauvre et pour les pauvres !", s'exclamait-il en 2013 au Vatican. À l'annonce de son décès, les hommages de dirigeants du monde entier se sont multipliés, d'Emmanuel Macron, à Vladimir Poutine en passant par JD Vance. Le vice-président américain était d'ailleurs l'un des derniers à avoir rencontré le Pape lors d'une brève visite au Vatican dimanche : "J'ai été heureux de le voir hier, même s'il était manifestement très malade", a-t-il déclaré.Toutes ces dernières années, le pape François a défendu l'immigration et la solidarité avec les migrants. En juillet 2013, c'est à Lampedusa, petite île italienne devenue un symbole de la crise migratoire européenne, que le chef de l'Église effectue son premier déplacement. "La culture du bien-être qui nous amène à penser à nous-mêmes nous rend insensibles aux cris des autres. Elle porte à la mondialisation de l'indifférence", dit-il en regrettant que la Méditerranée soit devenue un cimetière. Depuis Lampedusa, le pape François appelle à "construire des ponts et abattre des murs". Un message qu'il répètera sans cesse, jusqu'à sa venue à Marseille, en 2023. Entre-temps, le pape a créé un ministère chargé des questions migratoires au sein même du Vatican, et ramené une douzaine de réfugiés syriens dans son avion personnel, après un voyage dans le camp de Lesbos, en Grèce. Ces derniers mois, l'immigration est devenue un sujet de crispation avec l'administration Trump, qui a fait des immigrés son bouc-émissaire. Le dialogue avec l'extrême droite catholique européenne est aussi compliqué, le dirigeant de la Ligue italienne, Matteo Salvini, allant même jusqu'à arborer un t-shirt "Mon pape est Jean-Paul II".Autre grand sujet contemporain, l'aide à mourir a suscité d'intenses débats entre l'Église catholique, farouchement opposée, et le sommet de l'État français. "Il y a la tentation de dissimuler derrière des mots doux la violence de ce dispositif, qui est de l'ordre de l'euthanasie ou du suicide assisté", dénonçait il y a un an l'évêque de Nanterre Mgr Matthieu Rougé. Le projet de loi sur la fin de vie, porté par l'ancien Premier ministre Gabriel Attal, a été interrompu par la dissolution de l'Assemblée en juin 2024. Les poids lourds de la majorité se divisent maintenant sur l'avenir du texte, François Bayrou souhaitant scinder le texte en deux parties, tandis que la présidente de l'Assemblée nationale, Yaël Braun-Pivet, demande à ce qu'il soit inscrit à l'agenda de l'hémicycle le plus rapidement possible.Quel héritage va laisser le Pape François ? En quoi son combat en faveur des migrants a suscité des crispations avec l'extrême droite catholique ? Une loi sur la fin de vie va-t-elle aboutir en 2025 ?LES EXPERTS :- Christophe BARBIER - Éditorialiste politique, conseiller de la rédaction de Franc-Tireur- Isabelle DE GAULMYN - Productrice déléguée des Matins de France Culture- François MABILLE - Chercheur au CNRS, au groupe Sociétés, Religions, Laïcité- Isabelle LASSERRE - Ancienne correspondante en Russie, correspondant diplomatique - Le FigaroPRÉSENTATION : Maya Lauqué - REDIFFUSION : du lundi au vendredi vers 23h40PRODUCTION DES PODCASTS: Jean-Christophe ThiéfineRÉALISATION : Nicolas Ferraro, Bruno Piney, Franck Broqua, Alexandre Langeard, Corentin Son, Benoît LemoinePRODUCTION : France Télévisions / Maximal ProductionsRetrouvez C DANS L'AIR sur internet & les réseaux :INTERNET : francetv.frFACEBOOK : https://www.facebook.com/Cdanslairf5TWITTER : https://twitter.com/cdanslairINSTAGRAM : https://www.instagram.com/cdanslair/

Sounds! Album der Woche: Das Berner Kollektiv kündigt ihre dritte Platte «i got a song, it's gonna make us millions» als ihre bislang beste an. Im exklusiven Sounds!-Interview erzählen Nabyla und Jasmina Serag woher diese Überzeugung kommt... ...die beiden Stimmen von Sirens of Lesbos sprechen mit uns aber auch über den Videodreh zum Track «Room333», der in Los Angeles passierte – just als die Stadt von verheerenden Waldbränden heimgesucht wurde. Und auch die ökonomischen Nachteile, die mittlerweile entstehen, wenn man 2025 noch immer als komplette Band touren möchte, kommen zur Sprache. Dazu gibt's viel Musik aus dem neuen Album, das diese Woche unser Sounds! Album der Woche ist. Es gibt Vinyl zu Gewinnen, jeden Abend bis und mit Freitag – nur live in der Sendung!

Dieser New Music Friday wird angeführt von Projekten, die immer wieder staunen lassen: Bon Iver wurde vom Folkie zu einem der einzigartigsten Produzenten und Sänger der Gegenwart. Die Prog-Rock-Altmeister The Mars Volta machen nur noch, worauf sie grad Bock haben. Und die Berner Sirens of Lesbos... ...produzieren den unfassbarsten Pop der Schweiz, auch auf ihrem dritten Album «i got a song, it's gonna make us millions». Hört hört!

Over one thousand years later, Sappho wrote great poems of longing and desire. For classicist Daisy Dunn, these women—whether they were simply sitting at their looms at home or participating in the highest echelons of power—were up to something much more interesting than other histories would lead us to believe. Together, these women helped to make antiquity as we know it. In this monumental work, Dunn reconceives our understanding of the ancient world by emphasizing women's roles within it. The Missing Thread never relegates women to the sidelines and is populated with well-known names such as Cleopatra and Agrippina, as well as the likes of Achaemenid consort Atossa and Olympias, a force in Macedon. Spanning three thousand years, the story moves from Minoan Crete to Mycenaean Greece, from Lesbos to Asia Minor, from the Persian Empire to the royal court of Macedonia, and concludes with Rome and its growing empire. The women of antiquity are undeniably woven throughout the fabric of history, and in The Missing Thread they finally take center stage. 1700s Sabine Women
