I understand it was very similar to the same themes expressed by Homer.
Was Homer's work also destroyed on purpose? So was it the homoerotic edge or was it the fact that it was by a female?

She/he was a proponent of free and open homosexuality.
As a Lesbian Sappho's works were no.1 on the censors
"hit list" and they hit very hard!!
Homer's work was certainly suspect because the Greek's and the Roman's all seemed to indulge in a little homosexual encounters and of course that made the writings of Homer a
bit more suspect that some of the other Greek philosophers.
His works were modified a bit, but not destroyed. ( I think you would call that censorship - which was their work don't you see?!?!)
