The Hellenic imagination is filled with beaches, islands and cuisine. The five senses are all part of the journey. The imagination is not to be outdone, either, as it wanders between myths and legends. Gods, nymphs and monsters are all part of the adventure. Women, too. Whether subjects or creators, ancient women invade museums. Those of mythology occupy geography: the islands of Aegina, Lesbos, Chios, Corfu... Grab your feminist glasses, and Greece will reveal itself as eminently feminine. Did you know that it was the birthplace of lesbianism? The first notorious homosexual figure, Sappho was a poetess from the island of Lesbos. An early feminist, her work paints the portrait of a non-conformist woman who enjoyed her homosexual passions to the full. Welcome to Greece, where women are not allowed to climb Mount Athos, but are an integral part of the landscape. Focus on the Aegean islands and mainland Greece.
