Book Synopsis The Symposium in Context by : Kathleen M. Lynch
Download or read book The Symposium in Context written by Kathleen M. Lynch and published by ASCSA. This book was released on 2011 with total page 408 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book presents the first well-preserved set of sympotic pottery which served a Late Archaic house in the Athenian Agora. The deposit contains household and fine-ware pottery, nearly all the figured pieces of which are forms associated with communal drinking. Since it comes from a single house, the pottery also reflects purchasing patterns and thematic preferences of the homeowner. The multifaceted approach adopted in this book shows that meaning and use are inherently related, and that through archaeology one can restore a context of use for a class of objects frequently studied in isolation. Winner of the 2013 James R. Wiseman Book Award given by the Archaeological Institute of America.
Download or read book The Athenian Woman written by Sian Lewis and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2013-09-05 with total page 278 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Here Sian Lewis considers the full range of female existence in classical Greece - childhood and old age, unfree and foreign status, and the ageless woman characteristic of Athenian red-figure painting. Ceramics are an unparalleled resource for women's lives in ancient Greece, since they show a huge number of female types and activities. Yet it can be difficult to interpret the meanings of these images, especially when they seem to conflict with literary sources. This much-needed study shows that it is vital to see the vases as archaeology as well as art, since context is the key to understanding which images can stand as evidence for the real lives of women, and which should be reassessed.

Book Synopsis Women in Ancient Greece by : Sue Blundell
Download or read book Women in Ancient Greece written by Sue Blundell and published by Harvard University Press. This book was released on 1995 with total page 260 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Largely 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.

Book Synopsis Women of Ancient Athens by : Joseph R. Laurin
Download or read book Women of Ancient Athens written by Joseph R. Laurin and published by Trafford. This book was released on 2005 with total page 436 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Women of Ancient Athens is a comprehensive study of the status and roles of women in the Classical Age of the 5th and 4th century BCE when the democratic Athens was the major city of the Western world. All the sources of information are male. The primary sources used fictional forms of expression: Euripides and Aristophanes the theater, Xenophon and Plato the dialogue very effectively. The iconography of paintings on vases and sculptures in stone supports and confirms the literary information. Except for their maternal functions of producing and rearing children in their homes, and the related funerary and religious functions, the Athenian women had no other responsibilities and, as a result, no public rights and privileges. In all things, men were expected to rule not only in the city but also in the household. They were the guardians and the providers of their families while their women were managing, educating, cooking and weaving in the home. Nevertheless, in spite of their subservient roles, women had a fair measure of personal freedom and private influence on the culture and even the politics of ancient Athens. The ancient queen of Ithaca, Penelope, was the paragon of the faithful and industrious wife and mother while her husband Odysseus was engaged in the protracted Trojan War. The image of women painted by men was not altogether so bright, as it showed a restricted contribution to the welfare of the city and the culture of the time. It contributed to the ultimate defeat of ancient Athens and thus can inspire our current efforts toward an equal and distinct status and roles of men and women everywhere in the world. This 436-page book rests on the firm ground of its ancient sources, identified in some 1400 exact references and illustrated with two maps and ten figures from the Harvard Museums of Art, the Metropolitan Museum of New York and the J. Paul Getty Museum of Los Angeles. It is supported by a bibliography, a glossary and an index. It is addressed not only to scholars and professors but also to students and readers interested in the history of ancient Greece and of feminism. It allows the readers to choose the parts of greater interest as introduction to the general picture of the status and roles of women in Ancient Athens. The author has made a valuable contribution to history thanks to his extensive knowledge of the literature and of the Greek sites he visited many times since his first visit in 1952.

Book Synopsis The Agora Bone Well by : Maria A. Liston
Download or read book The Agora Bone Well written by Maria A. Liston and published by American School of Classical Studies at Athens. This book was released on 2018-12-31 with total page 201 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Even though Dorothy Thompson excavated the Agora Bone Well in 1938, the well and its remarkable finds have never been fully studied until now. Located outside the northwest corner of the Athenian Agora and dating to the second quarter of the 2nd century B.C., the well contained the remains of roughly 460 newborn infants, as well as a few older individuals. Also found in the well were the bones of over 150 dogs and an assortment of other animals, plus various artifacts, including an intriguing herm (treated here by Andrew Stewart) and an ivory chape. In addition to a thorough examination of the contents of the well, the authors provide a thoughtful analysis of the neighborhood in which the well was located and carefully compare the deposit with similar accumulations found elsewhere in the Mediterranean. The product of close cooperation between archaeological, palaeoanthropological, and faunal scholars, this interdisciplinary work will be of interest to a large audience across a variety of fields.
