Thais

Thais was a Greek lumber merchant who lived on the island of Chios during the 5th century BCE.

Biography

During the Peloponnesian War, Thais was one of the merchants whose trade and profits suffered as the products they sold to the leader of Lesbos were used to trade with other Greek city-states. To this end, Thais enlisted the aid of the Spartan misthios Kassandra, requesting her to eliminate the leader based in Mytilene on Lesbos. Once she had completed her task, the merchant sent her reward to her ship.

Trivia

• Thais is actually a female name, most famously born by the mistress of Alexander the Great.
