Greek Prostitutes in the Ancient Mediterranean, 800 BCE-200 CE - Wisconsin Studies in Classics
Allison Glazebrook
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.
