Also Sappho was exiled in Sicily and in Syracuse there is a statue in her honor.

Wow,really? I did not know that ! (In case anyone is wondering she was exiled because she participated in a conspiracy along other young aristocrats,to overthrow the then tyrant of Lesbos.Because of her high status she was exiled instead of executed).
