This poem discusses how love and attraction are more important and powerful than anything else in the world. Sappho gives the audience an example of how Helen abandons her husband and her family for the prince of Troy because she was in love with him. The love that Helen felt towards the prince was such a strong emotion that she decided to leave her whole life behind in order to be with the man she loves. As I read this poem, the story of Romeo and Juliet immediately came to mind. The love that Romeo and Juliet both shared was so passionate that they each went to the extremes of committing suicide be together. In both stories, it is clear that the love shared between the two couples was more powerful than anything else going on around
