- "Anything goes in this sex andron."
- ―Caretaker of the Abron House[src]
The Abron House was a heavily guarded building located north of the Temple of Apollo in Korinth, Korinthia, Greece.
It was maintained by one of The Monger's men as a place where the Monger could take his victims and entertain himself. As such, it was equipped with all manner of things, including chains and oil, and stained with blood.[1]
When the Spartan misthios Kassandra came to Korinth looking for her mother Myrrine, she decided to help the local hetaerae, led by Anthousa. One of Anthousa's girls, Damalis, asked Kassandra's help in dealing with a client who had changed.[1]
As Kassandra investigated the client, she learned he had been pressed by the Monger to bring Damalis to the Abron House, and decided to check out the place. While there, she slew the captain of the house's guards, and claimed valuables within, as well as disposed of the caretaker.[1]
