Greek prostitutes left messages like 'follow me' in the sand with their sandals.
The claim that Greek prostitutes used sandals to imprint messages such as 'follow me' in the sand is supported by multiple sources. Articles from The Vintage News and a personal blog by Sarah Bond discuss this practice in Ancient Greece, suggesting it was a form of advertising by prostitutes.
