Comedic episode in which Xena and Gabrielle save Genia, a young virgin, from sacrifice by religious fanatics.
Lots of lesbian subtext: Xena says her breasts are taken, Xena & Gabrielle have lots of playful splashing in the water, there's a Sappho connection ...
Sappho poem
- There's a moment when I look at you
- And no speech is left in me.
- My tongue breaks, then fire races under my skin
- And I tremble,
- And grow pale,
- For I am dying of such love.
