Phryne revealed before the Areopagus,A depiction of Phryne, a famous hetaera
of Ancient Greece, being disrobed before the Areopagus. Phryne was on trial for
profaning the Eleusinian Mysteries, and is said to have been disrobed by
Hypereides, who was defending her, when it appeared the verdict would be
unfavourable. The sight of her nude body apparently so moved the judges that
they acquitted her. Some authorities claim that this story is a later
invention.
