Witty nicknames, crude jokes, public nudity and lavish monuments, all of these things distinguished Greek courtesans from respectable citizen women in ancient Greece. Although prostitutes appear as early as archaic Greek lyric poetry, our fullest accounts come from the late second century CE.

McClure has created a window onto the ways ancient Greeks perceived the courtesan and the role of the courtesan in Greek life.
