I'm not an expert on Ancient Greece, I can't read the language (except fragmentarily, which is maybe fitting) and I have no academic knowledge out in the historical period aside from the piles of Sappho commentaries I've read in various languages, some books on general Ancient Greek culture and similar. I compile my portrayal of Gorgo primarily on the few, scattered Sappho fragments available, mixed with some folklore that's survived throughout history. We cannot be sure of these details and some of them are quite obviously false, but I use them to create a character.
