Coucou everyone!

Sex Work. Let's talk about it. 

Ancient Sex Work to be precise. It was legal back in Ancient Athens and we explore how it worked, how it was taxed and the hierarchies within the sex work system. And we talk about a sex worker so famous, so in her bag that she was immortalized to this very day. Cat then tells us a steamy tale from Homer. Let's go to Greece!
