>Sappho was married to Kerkylas of Andros. This name appears to have been invented by a comic poet: the name "Kerkylas" comes from the word κέρκος (kerkos), a possible meaning of which is "penis", and is not otherwise attested as a name, while "Andros", as well as being the name of a Greek island, is a form of the Greek word ἀνήρ (aner), which means "man".Thus, the name may be a joke. An English equivalent would be that Sappho was married to "Dick from the Isle of Man".
Someone write a poem about that
