The Temple of Aphrodite in Cyprus
Strabo, writing around seven b c at the earliest, confirms that temple prostitution took place in corinth. The temple of aphrodite was so rich that it owned more than a thousand temple slaves,. Both men and women had dedicated to the goddess. And therefore it wa also on account of these women that the city was crowded with people and grew rich. For instance, the ship captains freely squandered their money - hence the proverb, not for every man is the voyage to corinth.
