Prostitution in Ancient Greece

Sacred Temple Prostitution in Ancient Greece started in the 6th century BC. Over time, as sacrifices to the gods became an important source of income for temples, another form of prostitution, unrelated to temple rituals, developed. Solon, the famous legislator of Athens (640-558 BC), opened the first brothel and used its income to build the Aphrodite Pandemos Temple. These government-owned houses were called Dikterion and were well-organized. They set standard prices and helped avoid extreme price differences. The government collected taxes from these businesses, known as porniketos. The prostitutes were divided into three categories:

Dikteriades: low-class prostitutes serving lower-class men

Auletrides: middle-class prostitutes

Hetaires: high-class prostitutes, also called “friends”
