I don't think this would work today

Capital crime...that's incredibly vague. http://www.worldofbuzz.com/greek-legend-tells-how-a-prostitute-escaped-death-just-by-doing-this/

The crime was Blasphemy. Its mentioned in the article.

I don't know how I managed to skip that entire paragraph lol Thank you :)
So the moral of the story is blasphemy is only excuseable if you flash your tits

Boobs, I have been...and always shall be...your friend.
