The real Sappho of Mytilene, also known as Sappho of Lesbos, was a Greek poet who has historically been identified by many as the symbol of female homosexuality. The mythological Ganymede became the lover of the God Zeus. 2017 - "China a Puro Color" (“China Pure Color” at Expo Cuba 2017 (Arts Pavilion).
