why is no one talking about the fact that hoax has the chorus "stood on the cliffside screaming give me a reason" the lyric video has a cliff as the background, AND SAPPHO IS COMMONLY DEPICTED ON THE EDGE OF A CLIFF, FROM WHICH SHE JUMPED AFTER HAVING HER HEART BROKEN??? seriously, just google "sappho" and "cliff" and there will be tons of imagery, is a whole Thing.
Omg, here’s an excerpt from her wikipedia page:
A tradition going back at least to Menander (Fr. 258 K) suggested that Sappho killed herself by jumping off the Leucadian cliffs for love of Phaon, a ferryman. This is regarded as ahistorical by modern scholars, perhaps invented by the comic poets or originating from a misreading of a first-person reference in a non-biographical poem.[26] The legend may have resulted in part from a desire to assert Sappho as heterosexual.[44]
