The problem with tumblr think pieces about the labels sapphic and achillean is that most people don’t seem to know the history of these words. Just because they’re both referential to Ancient Greece doesn’t mean they were coined concurrently. Sapphic is an 18th century term that has come in and out of style ever since. This is a curial part of its history and if your argument against its use is based on the assumption that it was coined on tumblr dot com I’m honestly tempted to ignore everything else you said.
