Observing that nighttime activities increased as the settlement of new regions came to an end in the nineteenth century, he argued that the night was gradually perceived as another kind of frontier, as an area that should be colonized. 1 A few years later (1983), Wolfgang Schivelbusch's Lichtblicke: Zur Geschichte der künstlichen Helligkeit im 19. Jahrhundert discussed the dramatic impact of a technological changeartificial lighting that expanded nighttime activitieson the society, culture, and economy of nineteenth-century Europe. 2 In the decades the followed, especially after the turn of the century, historical research has studied significant aspects of the night in medieval and Early Modern Europe, in the Ottoman Empire, and in the modern world, 3 focusing on phenomena such as crime, policing, and the maintenance of order, witchcraft and Christian piety, debating, feasting, and entertaining at the royal courts, the rise of street lighting, differences between city and countryside, the emergence of new forms of entertainment, and the relation between gender and nocturnal activities. 4 Although

Too Shameless, Even for the Gutter! Prostitutes in Tralleis, Eulimene 21, 2020, 151-154, 2020

Ὕβρις is often used in connection with rape. 2 In this note, I am not concerned with the significance of this text for the study of attitudes towards homosexuality in Imperial Asia Minor, and more generally, for sexual morality, but with a fragmentary passage that has puzzled the editors. The proposers of the decree remind of the city's high moral standards, by pointing to the treatment of prostitutes. The editors read: ὁ δὲ δῆμος οὕτως ἔρρωτ[αι] πρὸς εὐκοσμίαν ὥστε καὶ τὰς ἑτ̣[αι]

The Epigraphy of Hellenistic Crete. The Cretan Koinon: New and Old Evidence, in Atti del XI Congresso Internazionale di Epigrafia Greca e Latina, Rome 1999, I, 287-300, 1999
If I have chosen to highlight a legal document-an unpublished treaty related to the Cretan Koinon... more If I have chosen to highlight a legal document-an unpublished treaty related to the Cretan Koinon-it is not only because this text is the longests and probably the most important unpublished inscription of Crete, but also because Cretan epigraphy stands out essentially as legal epigraphy. The brief presentation of the new text is incorporated in a more general survey of epigraphic research on Crete'. The epigraphy of Crete can be divided into two periods: The early period (late 8th-late 5th cent.) is characterized by a great number of laws and decrees (ca. 200 texts, most of them fragmented) from only ten cities. In this early period, the number of treaties is extremely small (Staatsvertr., II 147, 148, 203, 216). From the late 5th to the late 4th cent, a negligible number of inscriptions survives-only one treaty (Staatsvertr., II 296) and a handful of laws. The situation changes dramatically around 300, when the laws disappear, with the exception of leges sacrae. However, from the three centuries before the common era we have an unparalleled number of treaties, concluded both among Cretan cities and I would like to express my thanks to Prof.

As Polybios reports (4.54) the city was taken and destroyed completely, women and children were captured. When the Lyttians returned to their city and saw what had happened, they lamented the fate of their country, turned their backs on it and retired to Lappa, more than 300 km to the west as the crow flies. The Lappaeans received them with kindness and cordiality 1. A roughly contemporary inscription from Aigiale contains an honorary decree for two courageous citizens 2 : «During the night pirates landed in our territory and virgins and (married) women and other persons, both free and slaves, were captured-a total of more than thirty persons; and (the pirates) destroyed the ships in the harbour and captured the ship of Dorieus, with which they departed carrying away both the persons and the rest of the booty; when this occurred, Hegesippos and Antipappos, the sons of Hegesistratos, who were among the captives, jointly persuaded the leader of the pirates, Sokleidas, who was sailing along with them, to release the free persons, also some of the freedmen and the slaves, while they offered themselves as hostages.* A third document, this time a treaty between the dynast Eupolemos, the besieged city of Theangela and its mercenaries (c. 310 B.C.) concerns itself, among other thing, with various groups of persons that were given immunity (adeia) by the victorious 1 For epigraphic publications I use the abbreviations used in Supplementum Epigraphicum Graecum ; all dates are BC, if not otherwise indicated. 2 A.
