Women of Ancient Greece

Translated by Antonia Nevill.

This volume describes how women lived in ancient Greece, treating every aspect of their lives, including their religious, familial and domestic duties, their economic importance, and their social, moral and legal status as wives, cohabitees or slaves. The author examines their sexual roles, what the status of a woman's body was and what her own and others' attitudes were likely to be towards it. The whole topic is discussed in the context of the development and achievements of Greek civilisation. 240 Seiten mit 41 Abb., gebunden (Edinburgh University Press 2003) leicht berieben und bestoßen/slightly rubbed and bumped
