Anti̇k Yunan Toplumunda Hetairalarin Varliği

Prostitution is a profession with its origins dating back to antiquity in almost every culture, and its purpose and status vary according to society's characteristic.Within this framework, it is not a surprise, in ancient Greek culture, which oppresses woman in a rigorous way and holds behind the scenes, to see this career group divide into many classes.However, the advent of a class like "hetaira" which is distinct and hard to define, quite well ahead of other classes belonging to this profession in terms of status, far freer and more educated than noblewomen, is well worth the attention.However, hetairism assessments in antiquity were mostly restricted to the compiling of the lives of famous hetairas and the presence of hetairas was not approached as part of the social whole.In this study, our aim is to investigate the historical identity of hetairai in the light of ancient sources and assess why ancient Greek civilization might have formed the hetaira institution within the framework of the theory of gender relations
