EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from Mary Evans Picture Library depicts a pivotal moment in history, showcasing the story of Phryne, a Greek courtesan who was accused of profaning religious ceremonies. In this scene, her lawyer Hyperides successfully secures an acquittal for her by employing a bold and unconventional tactic - convincing Phryne to strip on the shore before the judges.
The image captures the tension and drama of the courtroom as Phryne stands before the judges, baring herself in a daring move that ultimately sways their decision in her favor. The historical significance of this event is palpable, highlighting not only the power dynamics at play within ancient Greek society but also shedding light on the agency and resilience of women like Phryne who navigated complex social structures with cunning and grace.
As we gaze upon this striking portrayal of courage and defiance, we are reminded of Phryne's legacy as a woman who defied societal norms and fought for justice against all odds. This print serves as a powerful testament to her strength and determination, immortalizing her story for generations to come.
