Sappho’s model of eros

  1. Carefully outline Sappho’s model of eros as it appears in her poems and in Greene’s essay “Apostrophe and Women’s Erotics in the Poetry of Sappho” and compare it to the traditional masculine model of pederasty, as it appears in Plato’s Symposium. How are these two models of eros different, and what is the significance of these differences? How do the two different models conceptualize eros itself as different, for example: is eros “unmanageable” or something we can control? *This response requires three citations: one citation from Greene’s essay, one citation from Sappho’s poems, and once citation from Plato’s Symposium.
