The earliest- known account of this event is the Ephesia by Posidippus, though a writing by Hermippus of Smyrna caused it to be expanded upon by Athenaeus in his Deipno-sophistae. The subject of this event, according to Athenaeus, had earlier offered to rebuild the walls of Thebes, and was born with the name Mnesarete. In the best-known account of this event, Euthias is opposed by the orator Hyperides, who claims that a certain person is the "prophetess and servant of Aphrodite." In a painting by Jean-LÃ©on GÃ©rome, the subject of this event appears with her robe already torn from her body, in an attempt to garner sympathy as she stands naked in front of the Areopagus. For 10 points, name this event in which a famous Thespian courtesan was acquitted.
