Neaira (hetaera)とは 意味・読み方・使い方

Neaira, or Neaera, (pronounced "neh-EYE-ruh") (Νέαιρα ) was a hetaera who lived in the 4th century BC in ancient Greece; there is no reliable data about the exact dates of her birth and death. She was brought to trial in the mid-fourth century, and the prosecution speech from that trial (Demosthenes 59 Against Neaira) provides a great deal of information about the life of Neaira and the sex trade in the ancient Greek city-states (poleis). More is known today about Neaira than any other prostitute of antiquity.
