Pierre Louÿs

Pierre Louÿs, real name Pierre Félix Louis, was a French poet and writer.

He specialized in erotic and ancient themes in the Art Nouveau style. Louÿs's most famous work is The Songs of Bilitis. It is a collection of erotic poetry with strongly lesbian themes, written in the manner of Sappho. Although Louÿs claimed that these poems had a Greek source, this ultimately proved to be a hoax.
