Athenians and Spartans sound bad. Is there some hipster City that had less pederasty, more rights for women, and fewer slaves in intensive occupations?

I actually made a post about my favorite Sappho poems a while back that you can check out if you want an introduction, too!
The Pleiades poem has got to be my favorite, though there's some question that she actually wrote it. I think of it often.
That one is actually my favorite too, I even have it in my "poems I like" section of my gemini capsule. It's so much fun when there's an air of mystery around authorship, too. If it wasn't her, I'd love to get my hands on other poems by whoever wrote it, but alas it's lost in the sands of time. And all we have really are fragments of hers! Crazy to dream...
