Description
The article discusses how ancient Greeks perceived the courtesan and the role of the courtesan in Greek life. It uses information from Book 13 of the Athenaeus' "Deipnosophistae" to do so.
Drawing on Book 13 of the Athenaeus' "Deipnosophistae", which contains almost all known references to Hetaeras from all periods of Greek literature, Laura K. McClure has created a window onto the ways ancient Greeks perceived the courtesan and the role of the courtesan in Greek life.
