She was engaged for public processions and festivities and appear to have been a well-known musician of her time. During one of her assignments, she appeared in a procession dressed in a wig and a helmet, in the appearance of the goddess Athena. While there is nothing confirming that she was a hetairai, she was the role model for the mother of the contemporary Aristainetos' fictional character Melissarion, a hetaira whose mother Aglais acted as her pimp.
Places of work recorded in the authority are Alexandria.
