费来尼斯(古希腊语:Φιλαινίς)是古希腊的性爱典籍作者名,相传出身萨摩斯岛。古典时代在她名下的性爱书流传于希腊、罗马世界,对诗人、作家影响颇深(尤其包括情诗作家奥维德、短诗家马提亚尔),然而现代已经散佚,仅存残篇。现代学者多认为这些书籍并非出自一人之手,而是本来流传于民间的性爱书,作者附会费来尼斯之名。
在俄克喜林库斯出土纸草中,有三篇署名“费来尼斯”,公开于1972年[4]。
根据俄克喜林库斯纸草记载,费来尼斯的全名是“俄库墨涅斯之女,萨摩斯的费来尼斯”[4];然而阿特纳奥斯则记载她的出身地是琉卡斯岛(今莱夫卡扎)。其母名一说为“古利那”。古代萨摩斯岛以名妓众多闻名,因故有学者认为“费来尼斯”一名应是娼妓花名;然而亦有意见认为古代没有“费来尼斯是妓女”的说法。
古代关于费来尼斯的生平记载多强调她的风流韵事。基督教父游斯丁、他提安、革利免均批判她“奸淫污秽”,认为她的书籍荼毒少年少女,近代作家约翰·多恩等亦以此形象刻画费来尼斯其人[8]。据托名琉善的伪作《爱情篇》(Ἔρωτες)记载,费来尼斯以穿戴阳具带与女性的性爱闻名[9],在马提亚尔的诗中也有费来尼斯的同性性爱记载,乃至描画她以阳具带对少年性交[10]。
