During the Peloponnesian War, Anthousa was notified of the misthios Kassandra's arrival by Phoibe, a young girl who worked for Aspasia. After noting Kassandra's efforts of saving the worshippers from the Monger's thugs at the Temple of Aphrodite, Anthousa introduced herself to the misthios at the Spring of Peirene. In exchange for information on her mother, Myrrine, Kassandra agreed to assist Anthousa deal with the Monger.[4] Anthousa instructed Kassandra to help some of her hetaerae. After helping Damalis with a problematic client[5] and Erinna find the whereabouts of her missing friend,[6] Kassandra returned to Anthousa.[1]
Meeting with the Spartan general Brasidas, Anthousa suggested killing the Monger in public, which Brasidas protested against.[1] After Kassandra killed the Monger in his own warehouse, his remains were then displayed publicly by Kassandra and Anthousa at the theater against Brasidas' wishes.[7] Anthousa then told Kassandra all she knew of Myrrine, and her departure on her ship the Siren Song years ago. Afterwards, she bade Kassandra farewell and good luck in her search.[1]
