Metaneira (Ancient Greek: Μετάνειρα) was a hetaira active in Classical Corinth and Athens. As a child, she was purchased by Nikarete of Corinth.[1] She was raised as a daughter, along with Neaera, and molded into a hetaera. Athenaeus claims that she was the mistress of both Isocrates and Lysias,[2] who according to Apollodorus arranged for her to be initiated into the Mysteries of Eleusis.[3]
