[Kynna] and Salabakcho: names of celebrated courtesans in Athens.1 Aristophanes [writes]: "and first of all I do battle with the saw-toothed monster himself, from whose eyes most dreadful rays of Kynna were flashing, while a hundred heads of damned flatterers were licking round his head".2 He is speaking about Kleon.
