Precarious Lives, Unstable Identities
This chapter explores the challenges of recovering the historical presence of hetaeras like Phryne in fourth-century Athens from the literary, artistic, and historical remains, and of differentiating them from other types of sexual laborers, and even from citizen wives. Their unstable identities and precarious lives are at the heart of three ongoing scholarly debates about Athenian prostitution arising, first, from the meanings of the terms used …
Phryne of Thespiae
Phryne of Thespiae: Courtesan, Muse, and Myth attempts to reconstruct the life of an Athenian courtesan who lived and worked in fourth-century Athens. Although considered the most famous of the many Greek courtesans who flocked to Athens during this period, Phryne became even more popular in the later literary tradition, which continually reimagined and embellished her stories. They recounted again and again how she served as the model for the Pr…
Spoken Like a Woman
Tokens of Identity
This essay explores the function of women in tragic recognition and its implications for understanding the genre and ancient Greek conceptions of gender more generally. It begins with the premise that recognition is a reciprocal process that confers social identity on the participants and affirms the importance of kin ties. Women are critical to discovery because of their knowledge of the material markers of male identity, whether physical scars …
Sexuality and Gender
In discussing sexual identity, this article focuses on specific issues in understanding how individuals could be constructed as sexual beings. The ancient Greeks themselves had no specific or overarching terms for either gender or sexuality, yet distinctions based on biological sex were deeply embedded in the linguistic, cognitive, political, and social structures of their society at all periods. Just as biological sex precedes sexuality in many …
Prostitutes and Courtesans in the Ancient World
Prostitutes and Courtesans in the Ancient World
These essays explore the implications of sex-for-pay from ancient Mesopotamia to the early Christian period. They reflect the debates engendered by research by confronting the ambiguous terms for prostitution in ancient languages as well as the politicaland social implications of literary representations of prostitutes
Subversive Laughter
Although the witticisms of courtesans recorded by Athenaeus in Book 13 of the Deipnosophistae (577d-85f) comprise an important source, if not of the actual words of hetaeras, at least of the genres and verbal conventions identified with them, they have received scant attention from classical scholars. The content and context of these remarks reveal a complex verbal dynamic in which obscene punning challenges normative class and gender categories …
