Twitter to win a book for BAFAB!

UPDATE 7/8: And the winner is @Susan_Victoria! But it's certainly not the best news she's had this week.

Okay, I've been thinking that for BAFAB Week this time around I'd give away a copy of my book, Trying Neaira: The True Story of a Courtesan's Scandalous Life in Ancient Greece (Yale University Press, 2003). It's the true story (hence the subtitle) of a woman named Neaira who was put on trial in Athens in the 4th century B.C. She wasn't tried in connection with her earlier career as a prostitute, but she was dragged through the mud by the prosecutor, whose speech from the trial survives. (The Sunday Telegraph called it a "gripping story of politics, sex and sleaze in ancient Athens...." This is a book that needs to be read!)

So, if you'd like to enter a drawing to win my book for BAFAB, just Twitter this message (you can enter once per day):
