Neaera: Writing a Prostitutes Life

Madeleine Henry

Highlighting the role women played in Athenian society, Madeleine Henry here examines the fascinating life of Neaera. In the course of her life Neaera occupied almost every role that was played by a women in Athens: child, daughter, wife, mother, and ‘lady of the house’; slave, freed, free; prostitute, living with one man, working for pay; upstanding and respectable, criminal and adulterous. Her life story, real or otherwise, will fascinate students of classical studies through the publication of this significant book.
