Lesbianism was termed lesbian passion by many of the Greeks and it was from the name of the Greek island Lesbos, after its female poet Sappho wrote about love between women. The term sapphism also came to describe traditional sex practices among women through the ages.[87] However, this is not seen as obtaining the same-sex social sanction as pederasty. Nor does Greek mythology offers legends of the goddesses which parallel the homosexual acts seen as having occurred between male Greek gods.
