Γυναικῶν ἀρεταί

Γυναικῶν ἀρεταί Plutarch
12 It was a custom for the maidens of Ceos to go in a company to the public shrines and spend the day together, and their suitors watched their sports and dances. At evening they went by turns to each one’s home and waited upon one another’s parents and brothers even to washing their feet. Very often more than one youth would be in love with one maid, but their love was so orderly and so controlled by custom, that when the girl became engaged to one, the others ceased their attentions at once. The net result of this orderly behaviour on the part of the women was that there was no memory of a case of adultery or seduction in that country for the space of seven hundred years.

XIII. THE WOMEN OF PHOCISA story about the women of Phocis has been told already (supra 244 a). A better title for this story would be The Women of Amphissa.
