Aristagora () can refer to one of two women in classical antiquity: Aristagora, a hetaira, and mistress of the orator Hyperides, against whom he afterwards delivered two orations.Athenaeus, Deipnosophistae xiii. pp. 590, d. 586, a. 587, d. 588, c.Harpocration, Lexicon of the Ten Orators s.v. Ἀφύαι In these orations, Hyperides accuses her of breaking immigration law by failing to obtain a citizen sponsor, as was required by law in Attica. However it is generally believed by modern scholars that the accusation, though perhaps true, was essentially a pretext on which Hyperides could harass Aristagora after a bad breakup. Aristagora, a woman of Corinth, also a hetaira, and the mistress of Demetrius of Phalerum, the grandson of (the much more well known) Demetrius of Phalerum.Athenaeus, Deipnosophistae 4.167d. e.
