In Greek, toad, antiphrastic nickname of Mnesarete (remembrance of virtue) of Thespias, hetaera of the fourth century BC. C . , muse of Praxiteles and other sculptors for his Aphrodites. Accused of impiety by the jealous and spiteful Euthys, the court of the heliastas acquitted her after her defender Hyperides stripped her naked before the judges: so much beauty (the same as we see in the Venus of Cnidus) could not be less than virtuous.
