Was Sappho, the female poet of Aphrodite, deified after her death?

Sappho Empty Re: Sappho

Sappho was almost certainly given worship as a divine/inspired poet. She was revered all across Lesbos island especially.

Shrines for poets would not typically have been given their own freestanding temples. However, it would be very common for temples dedicated to the Muses to have within them smaller niche shrines in the walls for a variety of poets and/or famous artists (nearly all of whose works are, unfortunately, lost).
