When we think of ancient Greece, we imagine philosophers, warriors, and democracy. But hidden beneath the temples of Athens and Corinth was another story — the rise and spread of prostitution. From state-regulated brothels under Solon to the luxurious hetairai courtesans and even sacred practices at the temples of Aphrodite, prostitution became an institution deeply rooted in Greek society.

In this video, we uncover:
