She also gained the acquaintance of Aspasia, the spouse of the Athenian statesman Perikles. Īt some point, Anthousa also made the acquaintance of Alkibiades, an Athenian noble and a student of the famed philosopher Sokrates. Eventually, the Spartan woman departed Korinth after winning a ship, the Siren Song, in a game of dice.
As Myrrine often kept to herself, Anthousa made efforts to help her open up about her past though she gained little in return.
Unwilling to leave her out on the streets under a heavy rain, Anthousa took her in and gave her shelter. On one occasion, Anthousa met a vagrant Myrrine, the daughter of the late King Leonidas I of Sparta who left her home after an accident on Mount Taygetos.
At least since the 440s BCE, Anthousa served as the leader of the hetaerai in Korinth.
