Lesbians Rule! – No really, the etymology of Lesbian

Lesbians RuleThis phrase “Lesbian Rule” has an origin in a lesbian rule which was a mason’s rule of lead, of a type used on the Greek island of Lesbos, which could be bent to fit the curves of a molding. This island in northeastern Aegean Sea was the home of Sappho, a great lyric poet, whose erotic and romantic verse embraced women as well as men, hence in turn underlying the meaning “relating to homosexual relations between women”.

“And this is the nature of the equitable, a correction of law where it is defective owing to its universality. … For when the thing is indefinite the rule also is indefinite, like the leaden rule used in making the Lesbian moulding; the rule adapts itself to the shape of the stone and is not rigid, and so too the decree is adapted to the facts.” [Aristotle, "Nicomachean Ethics"]
