Demetrios Poliorketes und die Hetäre Lamia (254 Aufrufe)

Athenaios von Naukratis, Das Gelehrtenmahl 577 c-f:
[...] And was not Demetrius Poliorcetes madly in love with the pipe-girl Lamia, by whom he had a daughter named Phila (1)? Polemon in his On the Painted Stoa in Sicyon [fr. 14] says that Lamia was the daughter of Cleanor of Athens and was responsible for the construction of the stoa in question in Sicyon. Demetrius was also in love with Leaina, who was another Athenian courtesan, and with many other women.
The comic poet Mach in his work entitled Anecdotes says the following:

When Leaina adopted a remarkable
position and had a great success with
Demetrius, they said that † Lamia
rode fluidly on top of the king at one point
and was praised for it. She responded as follows:
“Well, then – have a Leaina, if you like!”
[πρὸς ταῦτα καὶ Λέαιναν, εἰ βούλει, κράτει.]

Lamia was extremely witty and clever in the responses she offered, much like Gnathaena, whom I will discuss later.
Macho writes as follows, once again discussing Leaina:

At a drinking party once, King Demetrius
was showing Lamia various different types of perfume.
(Lamia was a pipe-girl, and they say that Demetrius
was very sweet on her and found her sexually exciting.)
When she claimed not to like any of them and was acting very
haughty toward the king, he signaled for a slave to bring him
some expensive spikenard perfume. He rubbed
his penis with his hand, smeared the result on his fingers,
and said: “Smell this, Lamia, and
you’ll see how much better it is than the others!”
She laughed and said: “In my opinion, you poor bastard,
That one smells more disgusting than all the rest.”
Demetrius responded: “But the fact is, by the gods,
Lamia, that this one comes from royal nuts.”
[κείνη δὲ γελάσασ’, “ἀλλὰ τοῦτ’,” ἔφη, “τάλαν,
ὄζειν δοκεῖ μοι σαπρότατον πάντων πολύ.”
Δημήτριος δ’ εἶπ’, “ἀλλὰ μήν, νὴ τοὺς θεούς,
ἀπὸ βαλάνου τοῦτ’ ἐστί, Λάμια, βασιλικῆς.”

(Athenaeus: The Learned Banqueters. Ed. by S. Douglas Olson. 8 vls.; vol. 6, Cambridge (Mass.)/ London 2010, pp. 340-343)

(1) Phila war auch der Name seiner offiziellen Erstfrau.
