Abstract
Hetaira and a philosopher are the couple which appears early in the classical Greek city, in different literary texts and socila context. The construct of the couple which is not united through tradicional ( ritual ) marriage bonds reflects new social realities and new imaginaries of the body and of tme mind/emotions. The desconstruction of the polis and of the democtaric community introduces new identitary technicques, linked to the individual, introspection and the non-political respects of privacy. The society reacts to philosophers and to heterai in a new way, as they represent ambivalent and often opposed concepts of education. Hetaira, as a rare kind of woman in Antiquity with some voice in the public, questions the exclusive masculine citizenship and the established gender balance, which already proved traumatic for the male authority ( in the theatre practice, for instance ). Therefore, the body of hetaira and the body of philosopher is constructed in a new way in the hellenistic period.
