Phryne--Widow 4
B.C.
|
|
Born Boeotia
Thespiae, a famous
Greek courtesan. She was called "Phryne," the
Greek word for "Toad" due to her sallow complexion. She offered to rebuild the walls
of Thebes if the words "destroyed by Alexander, restored by Phryne
the Courtesan" be inscribed on them. |
She modeled for many sculptors,
but is perhaps most famous for being accused accused of profaning
religious rites, a capital offense. She showed the court her breasts and was promptly acquitted.
She was most remarkable for the
Elasticity of her parts, and a certain
Spring in her Motion, which endangered
the Rider; But somewhat mercenary in
Abatement of her other amiable
Qualities.
