Answer:

Sappho, following the poetic traditions of Archaic Greece, tended towards floral and natural imagery to depict feminine beauty and youth. Elsewhere, she evokes images of garlands, scents and even apples to convey feminine sensuality.

Step-by-step explanation:

Sappho's poems usually focus on the relationships among women. This focus has given rise to speculation that Sappho's interest in women was what today would be called homosexual or lesbian; the word "lesbian" comes from the island of Lesbos and the communities of women there. While the notion of a “circle” of young women remains undefined in Sappho's poems, the exploration of love, desire, and the pursuit of beauty remain the most prominent themes in Sappho's poetry and those for which she is most remembered.
