If she doesn’t like someone, like the King of Lydia, she asks an outrageous price. It was Prax who made that very famous statue of her as Aphrodite at Knidos that supposedly made the goddess quip, “When did that sculptor ever see me naked?” Maybe I just don’t know what I’d say to Phryne, or maybe I’m just not up to haggling for a discount if we don’t have much chemistry. Hey, Phryne’s extremely wealthy, and she’s got plenty of customers–everybody from her lawyer Hypereides to the penniless Diogenes to the master artist Praxiteles. It would be like trying to hook up with an A-lister in my own time. The original is now lost.Īfter the trial, I realize I don’t have a snowball’s chance in hell to hook up with Phryne.
