The dangers of pleasure are portrayed in comedy in the figures of the chef, parasite and hetaera. |
Some similarities have been found between the Greek hetaera, the Japanese oiran, and also the Indian tawaif. |
But that a woman had to be a hetaera before she could be a woman is the worst condemnation of the Athenian family. |
And a woman with a hetaera mask, playing the aulos is accompanied by an assistant, an unmasked boy on the left. |
Woman is dethroned as the primary and supreme sex, debased into inseminable hetaera. |
However, even when Myriam evokes the emerged men of the shades of her past of a fix-price hetaera, she has any bitterness, any nastiness. |
