Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. Prostitution was a part of daily life in ancient Greece. Pseudo-Demosthenes in the 4th century BCE proclaimed in front of an assembly of citizens "we have courtesans for pleasure, concubines to provide for our daily needs, and our spouses to give us legitimate children and to be the faithful guardians of our homes" (Against Neaera, 122). If reality was somewhat less of a caricature, it is still obvious that the Greeks had no moral qualms about consorting with prostitutes. In the more important cities, and particularly the many ports, it employed a significant proportion of the population and represented one of the top levels of economic activity. It was far from being clandestine; cities did not condemn brothels, and they existed in plain view. In Athens, the legendary lawmaker Solon is credited with having created state brothels with regulated prices. Prostitution involved both sexes differently; women of all ages and young men were prostitutes, for a predominantly male clientèle.
