The example of Sappho served as a stimulus for almost all the surviving poetesses of Greco-Roman times, from the Greeks (Myrtis and Corinna, from Boeotia; Telesilla and Praxilla, from the Peloponnese; Erinna, from the island of Telos; Moero, from Byzantium; Anyte, from Tegea, a modest town in Arcadia, etc.) to the Roman ones (Melino, the elegiac Sulpicia, Herenia Proculla, Sulpicia the satirist; the travelers Julia Balbilla and Caecilia Trebulla, Fabia Aconia Paulina the last pagan, etc.). The Romantic writers used her to validate female authorship (Gertrudis Gómez de Avellaneda, Carolina Coronado, María Rosa Gálvez, etc.). With the contributions of the papyri found at the end of the 19th century and the 20th century, Sappho is once again translated and read.
