Lais Of Corinth
Lais of Corinth ( grc, Λαΐς and Λαΐδα) ( fl. 425 BC) was a famous hetaira or courtesan of ancient Greece, who was probably born in Corinth. She shared a name with the younger hetaira Lais of Hyccara; as ancient authors (in their usually indirect accounts) often confused them or did not indicate which one they referred to, the two women became inextricably linked. Lais lived during the Peloponnesian War and was said to be the most beautiful woman of her time. Among her clients were the philosopher Aristippus (two of his alleged writings were about Lais) and the Olympic champion Eubotas of Cyrene. Aelian relates a tradition that either she or the other Lais held the nickname "Axine" ("axehead"), for the sharpness of her cruelty. Anne Robertson referenced Corinth for its one thousand temple prostitutes most notably Lais. The city's reputation “added a new word to the Greek language.

Lais Of Hyccara
Lais of Hyccara ( grc, Λαΐς and Λαΐδα) (died 340 BC) was a hetaira (courtesan) of Ancient Greece. She was probably born in Hyccara, Sicily (modern Carini) and died in Thessaly. She was a contemporary of another courtesan with the same name, Lais of Corinth. Since ancient authors in their (usually indirect) accounts often confused them or did not indicate which they refer to, the two have become inextricably linked. There are a number of surviving anecdotes about Lais of Hyccara. For example, it was said that Demosthenes offered to pay 1,000 Greek drachmas for a night with her, but that she raised her price to 10,000 drachmas after seeing him, while she gave herself to Diogenes for nothing. Aelian relates that she bore the nickname ''Axine'' ("axehead"), for the sharpness of her cruelty. She was the daughter of Timandra (or Damasandra, according to Athenaeus). She was a contemporary and rival of Phryne. She fell in love with a Thessalian named Hippostratus or Hippolochu ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

The Lais Of Marie De France
The ''lais'' of Marie de France are a series of twelve short narrative Breton lais by the poet Marie de France. They are written in Anglo-Norman and were probably composed in the late 12th century, most likely between 1155-1170. The short, narrative poems generally focus on glorifying the concept of courtly love by the adventures of their main characters. Marie's lais are thought to form the basis for what would eventually become the genre known as the Breton lais. Despite her stature in Anglo-Norman literature and medieval French literature generally, little is known of Marie herself, but it is thought that she was born in France and wrote in England. Literary character Marie de France's lais, told in octosyllables or eight-syllable verse, are notable for their celebration of love, individuality of character, and vividness of description, hallmarks of the emerging literature of the times. Five different manuscripts contain one or more of the lais, but only one, Harley 978, a ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
