DOWNLOAD EBOOKIn recent years, scholars have taken a closer look at the women of the ancient world and found poets, landowners, athletes, and more—not just wives. However, for most women, their household was their domain and their husband their master. Readers learn about both perspectives in an engaging format of fun facts, as well as about famous women in power, important goddesses, and many other interesting details of the time period. Historical images of women in ancient Greece and Rome and full-color photographs of the places they lived enhance curriculum-supporting content and graphic organizers that further explore important concepts.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKDespite a common perception that most writing in antiquity was produced by men, some important literature written by women during this period has survived. Edited by I. M. Plant, Women Writers of Ancient Greece and Rome is a comprehensive anthology of the surviving literary texts of women writers from the Graeco-Roman world that offers new English translations from the works of more than fifty women. From Sappho, who lived in the seventh century B.C., to Eudocia and Egeria of the fifth century A.D., the texts presented here come from a wide range of sources and span the fields of poetry and prose. Each author is introduced with a critical review of what we know about the writer, her work, and its significance, along with a discussion of the texts that follow. A general introduction looks into the problem of the authenticity of some texts attributed to women and places their literature into the wider literary and social contexts of the ancient Graeco-Roman world.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKLargely excluded from any public role, the women of ancient Greece nonetheless appear in various guises in the art and writing of the period, and in legal documents. These representations, in Sue Blundell's analysis, reveal a great deal about women's day-to-day experience as well as their legal and economic position - and how they were regarded by men.
