This is a pioneering study that examines the sale of sex in classical Athens from a commercial (rather than from a cultural or moral) perspective. Following the author's previous book on Athenian banking, 'Athenian Prostitution' analyses erotic business at Athens not anachronistically, but in the context of the Athenian economy.
