harlot-mother

Updated: May 2, 2025

Cratinus, in downright terms, calls her a harlot. To find him a Juno the goddess of lust Bore that harlot past shame, Aspasia by name. It should seem, also, that he had a son by her; Eupolis, in his Demi, introduced Pericles asking after his safety, and Myronides replying, "My son?" "He lives; a man he had been long, But that the harlot-mother did him wrong."
