- Synopsis
- This book offers answers what activities did the women of ancient Greece perform in the sphere of ritual, and the meanings of such activities for them and their culture. It aims to recover and reconstruct an important dimension of the lived experience of ancient Greek women. It draws on a wide range of evidence from across the Greek world, including literary and historical texts, inscriptions, and vase-paintings, to assemble a portrait of women as religious and cultural agents.
