RE: Phryne: The Ancient Greek Prostitute Who Flashed Her Way to Freedom

in #history7 years ago

Thanks for the article.
I just knew that she was a very famous hetaerae and ...that's it.

I also find it interesting that the actual name (Phryne-Φρύνη) is a somewhat common female name, both in Greece and in Cyprus. I wonder if it was it carried through the ages as a tribute to her or is just a recent "reinvention".

Now that's a great question. I have to do some research on it to find out. Thank you for the constructive comment my friend and welcome to Steemit :)
