Thaïs
Thaïs was a famous Greek
hetaera who lived during the time of
Alexander the Great and accompanied him on his campaigns.Thaïs first came to the attention of history when, in
330 BC,
Alexander the Great burned down the palace of Persepolis after a drinking party. Thaïs was present at the party and gave a speech which convinced Alexander to burn the palace.
Cleitarchus claims that the destruction was a whim;
Plutarch and
Diodorus recount that it was intended as retribution for Xerxes' burning of the temple of Athena on the Acropolis in Athens in
480 BC (the destroyed temple was replaced by the
Parthenon of
Athens)
