Greek Prostitutes in the Ancient Mediterranean, 800 BCE-200 CE

About Greek Prostitutes in the Ancient Mediterranean, 800 BCE-200 CE

Challenges the often-romanticised view of the prostitute as an urbane and liberated courtesan by examining the social and economic realities of the sex industry in Greco-Roman culture. Departing from the conventional focus on elite society, these essays consider the Greek prostitute as displaced foreigner, slave, and member of an urban underclass.
