In her book The Myth of Sacred Prostitution in Antiquity (Cambridge, 2008), Stephanie Budin compiles and analyses an impressive array of literary sources which describe, or have been interpreted as describing, several practices that modern scholars have collectively and variously called sacred, ritual, cultic or temple prostitution. In general, as Budin explains, ‘[s]acred prostitution is the sale of a person's body for sexual purposes where some portion (if not all) of the money or goods received for this transaction belongs to a deity … usually Aphrodite’. Three major subtypes include ‘once-in-a-lifetime prostitution and/or sale of virginity in honor of a goddess’, activity that ‘involves women (and men?) who are professional prostitutes and who are owned by a deity or a deity's sanctuary’, and ‘a temporary type of sacred prostitution, where the women (and men?) are either prostitutes for a limited period of time before being married, or only prostitute themselves during certain rituals’.

Summary

Rochette’s comment reflects a scholarly view on code-switching in the two heavy-weights of Roman epistolography: Pliny’s Greek is thought to be technical, carefully delimitated and literary, whereas Cicero’s, at least at times, is considered to be freer and representative of spoken language.

Summary

A reader of the correspondence of Fronto, a character known essentially only through his letters, may at times feel voyeuristic, as if trespassing into a personal realm not designed for publication.
