PULAU LESBOS - LESBIAN

(arrahmah.com)

 Pulau Lesbos saat ini merupakan sebuah pulau di Yunani yang terletak di Laut Aegea. Pulau ini terletak 320 km dari pantai barat Yunani. Pada tahun 2001, pulau ini memiliki jumlah penduduk 90.643 jiwa dan memiliki luas wilayah 1.632 km².

Istilah “lesbian” yang mendunia berasal dari pulau Lesbos ini. Itu bermula dari kisah dewi dan penyair dari mitologi Yunani, Sappho. Kata “lesbian” diambil dari kata Lesbos, tempat kelahiran penyair Sappho. Ia banyak menulis syair-syair cinta terhadap sesama perempuan pada abad ketujuh sebelum Masehi. Kata-katanya yang penuh luapan emosi dinyanyikan, dengan iringan kecapi. Di zaman Yunani purba sangatlah jarang seorang perempuan menulis puisi. Lebih jarang lagi seorang perempuan menulis puisi, apalagi mengungkapkan perasaan terhadap sesama perempuan. Konon, Shappo, kala itu, dipuji-puji oleh pemikir Yunani seperti Plato yang menyebutnya ‘dewi kesenian kesepuluh’. Dari cerita ini, tiba-tiba Shappo diyakini sebagai cikal-bakal lahirnya kelainan seksual dan penyuka sesama jenis. Munculnya istilah “lesbian” tak lain mengambil nama tempat di mana Shappo lahir dan tinggal, yakni Pulau Lesbos. Sejak itu hingga kini, Pulau Lesbos menjadi semacam menjadi tempat ziarah bagi kaum perempuan menyimpang penganut sesama jenis, lesbian.
