Hetaira /hɪˈtaɪrə/ (plural hetairai (/hɪˈtaɪraɪ/), also hetaera /hɪˈtɪrə/ (plural hetaerae /hɪˈtɪriː/), (Ancient Greek: ἑταίρα, "companion", pl. ἑταῖραι) was a type of prostitute in ancient Greece. | |wketx=Hetaira /hɪˈtaɪrə/ (plural hetairai (/hɪˈtaɪraɪ/), also hetaera /hɪˈtɪrə/ (plural hetaerae /hɪˈtɪriː/), (Ancient Greek: ἑταίρα, "companion", pl. ἑταῖραι) was a type of prostitute in ancient Greece. | ||
Traditionally, historians of ancient Greece have distinguished between hetairai and pornai, another class of prostitute in ancient Greece. In contrast to pornai, who provided sex for a large number of clients in brothels or on the street, hetairai were thought to have had only a few men as clients at any one time, to have had long-term relationships with them, and to have provided companionship and intellectual stimulation as well as sex. For instance, Charles Seltman wrote in 1953 that "hetaeras were certainly in a very different class, often highly educated women". | Traditionally, historians of ancient Greece have distinguished between hetairai and pornai, another class of prostitute in ancient Greece.

A third position, advanced by Rebecca Futo Kennedy, suggests that hetairai "were not prostitutes or even courtesans". Instead, she argues, hetairai were "elite women... who participated in sympotic and luxury culture", just as hetairoi – the masculine form of the word – was used to refer to groups of elite men at symposia. | A third position, advanced by Rebecca Futo Kennedy, suggests that hetairai "were not prostitutes or even courtesans".

Le etère (in greco antico: ἑταίραι), nella società dell'antica Grecia, erano particolari donne di compagnia, per alcuni aspetti assimilabili a cortigiane e prostitute. Si trattava, tuttavia, di sofisticate figure che, oltre a prestazioni sessuali, offrivano compagnia e spesso intrattenevano con i clienti relazioni prolungate. | Le etère (in greco antico: ἑταίραι), nella società dell'antica Grecia, erano particolari donne di compagnia, per alcuni aspetti assimilabili a cortigiane e prostitute.
