Sappho (New Earth)

Sign in to edit

Sappho was a famous Greek poetess who lived on the Island of Lesbos, in Ancient Greece, about 600 BCE.[1]

She was so sensitive that she couldn't stand the sight of suffering in any form (like a flower getting sunburned, a fish getting exhausted trying to leap upstream, a hungry bear cub with a sick mother...). That's why Wonder Woman exclaims: "Suffering Sappho!" whenever she sees anyone suffering.[1]

Sappho is a historical figure of great importance to the Amazons in general. There is even a Sappho Hall on Paradise Island, named after her.[2]


Abilities


  • Sappho has not actually appeared in a New Earth story, but she has been mentioned on New Earth many times, mainly in exclamations by Amazons.
