Welcome back to the Dirt Diaries! Since February is the month of love with Valentine, I thought it would be fun to go over some ancient love poems and songs and then... rank them. I go over everything from the world's oldest love songs to those written by Sappho and Plato and everything in between. People may say ILY today, but someone in the ancient world said, " I wish I were Heaven, with a billion eyes to look at you." -Stay curious Want more Dirt Diaries?
