Nikarete was a madam from Corinth , who lived in the 5th and 4th centuries BC. Nikarete operated a bettering establishment in Corinth, a city famous in classical antiquity antiquity for its prostitution trade. From Corinth and Greek literature comes the verb korinthiazein , which loosely translated means to fornicate . She bought young girls from the Corinth slave market and trained them as hetaera , to let them make their own living. Through this parental relationship Nikarete sought to increase the price her customers had to pay free women were usually higher in demand . Nikarete s most famous hetaera was Neaira hetaera Neaira , whom she bought along with six other girls and treated them as her own. There is a possibility that Nikarete was not a single individual or even a real person.

After the death of her husband, who was thought to have been poisoned by the command of Gonatas, Nicaea retained possession of the important fortress of Corinth but Antigonus lulled her into security by offering her the hand of his son Demetrius II of Macedon Demetrius in marriage, and took the opportunity during the nuptial festivities to surprise the citadel.

Polybus is a figure in Greek mythology . He was the king of Corinth and husband of either Merope Oedipus Merope or Periboea . He raised Oedipus as his adopted son, who had been abandoned by his parents Laius and Jocasta of Ancient Thebes Boeotia Thebes in Greece . Polybus was the true father of Alcinoe . In virtually all accounts of the mythology, when Oedipus reached adolescence, he consulted with the Delphic Oracle, who told him You shall kill your father and marry your mother . Obviously horrified and disgusted with such a prophecy, Oedipus imposed self exile upon himself and kept away from Corinth, as he resolved never to murder King Polybus, who had been a kind father to him. Oedipus was also understandably disgusted the act of murdering Polybus and claiming his wife for himself, as he had no unnatural attraction to Queen Merope. Many years later, after Oedipus won the kingship of Thebes by defeating the Sphinx, did another plague befall Thebes. King Oedipus, in his effort to find the cause of plague due to a patricide, revealed that he was told in his teen years that he was destined to murder his father, and sent a spy to Corinth to see who is currently on the throne. The news of Polybus death by natural causes was announced by the messenger to Jocasta in Sophocles Oedipus the King , in which it is falsely taken to mean that Oedipus did not kill his father. This would mean the that prophecy that Oedpius would murder his father and marry his mother would be false, and Oedipus expresses relief that he did not commit such a heinous act. Since Polybus in fact his adoptive father, Oedipus could and did kill his true father, King Laius, and fulfill the prophecy.
