Impiety, Hetaira, Thiasos, Porne, PhryneAbstract
Textual documentation indicates that Phryne of Thespis was a young woman who moved from Boeotia to Athens and became active in the sex trade, working as a hetaira. Due to her charms and physical beauty, she became famous, turning into a symbol of greed and the male elite culture of Athens. However, we know little about Phryne of Thespis; the most notable episode of her life was the accusation of asebeia (impiety) brought by her former lover, Euthias.
