Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In making this study my object has been to collect all the information upon the life and position of women to be found in the Attic inscriptions. With this purpose in mind I have tried to examine all published inscriptions which relate directly or indirectly to women, individually or collectively. A careful reading of them has not brought to light any fact contrary to our knowledge of the manner of life or position in society of Athenian women derived from literary and artistic sources; but from them we gain confirmation and copious illustration of knowledge acquired by other means, as well as a vivid picture, composed of accumulated details, of the everyday occupations of women at home and abroad, of their religion and superstitions, their family relationships and public honors. And although not many new facts have been added to our knowledge by the inscriptions, they effect a decided change in the view which is given by Greek literature alone. We recall Pericles' speech after the first year of the Peloponnesian war - a speech full of the deepest feeling for youth, for the loss inflicted upon the state and upon the family, but harsh, even to a shocking degree, toward the bereaved mothers and wives of the dead; yet in Pericles, because of his association with Aspasia, a different attitude might well have been expected.

Download or read book The Concept of Work written by Herbert Applebaum and published by State University of New York Press. This book was released on 1992-09-30 with total page 664 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book presents an analysis amd review of work, starting with the Homeric period, then dealing with classical Greece and classical Rome, the early Christians and Jews, the early Middle Ages, the era of Charlemagne, the high Middle Ages, the views of Luther and Calvin, the English and French Enlightenment, the nineteenth century, the twentieth century, and prospects for the future of work. It offers a rich and varied tapestry on the complexity of values regarding work, criss-crossing through crafts, occupations and professions, through slave and free-born employments, through lay and religious figures, and through rural and urban contexts. The permutations of work and its meanings are traced and related to the social and cultural contexts of each period of history dealt with — ancient, medieval, and modern. Applebaum offers projections for work in the future, based on modern-day technologies, along with work within the context of new social conditions created by industrial cultures in the modern period. The future of work is examined as one of the key elements for the possibility of change in the social structure of industrial cultures. At a time when so many people are questioning the work ethic, this book provides a valuable perspective on work in past societies, how it has developed and been transformed, and what are its prospects for the future.

Download or read book Contextualizing Classics written by John Peradotto and published by Rowman & Littlefield. This book was released on 1999 with total page 388 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This collection of original essays examines innovations in both the theory and practice of classical philology. The chapters address interdisciplinary methods in a variety of ways. Some apply theoretical insights derived from other disciplines, such as folklore studies, performance theory, feminist criticism, and the like, to classical texts. Others examine the relationships between classics and cultural studies, popular literature, film, art history, and other related disciplines. Others, again, look to the evolution of theoretical methods within the discipline of classics. Taken together, the essays offer a spectrum of new approaches in the classics and their place within the profession.

Download or read book Her Share of the Blessings written by Ross Shepard Kraemer and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 1994-01-20 with total page 288 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this pathbreaking volume, Ross Shepard Kraemer provides the first comprehensive look at women's religions in Greco-Roman antiquity. She vividly recreates the religious lives of early Christian, Jewish, and pagan women, with many fascinating examples: Greek women's devotion to goddesses, rites of Roman matrons, Jewish women in rabbinic and diaspora communities, Christian women's struggles to exercise authority and autonomy, and women's roles as leaders in the full spectrum of Greco-Roman religions. In every case, Kraemer reveals the connections between the social constraints under which women lived, and their religious beliefs and practices. The relationship among female autonomy, sexuality, and religion emerges as a persistent theme. Analyzing the monastic Jewish Therapeutae and various Christian communities, Kraemer demonstrates the paradoxical liberation which women achieved by rejection of sexuality, the body, and the female. In the epilogue, Kraemer pursues the disturbing implications such findings have for contemporary women. Based on an astonishing variety of primary sources, Her Share of the Blessings is an insightful work that goes beyond the limitations of previous scholarship to provide a more accurate portrait of women in the Greco-Roman world.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The pursuit of gender in the archaeological record is explored in this exciting new collection of essays by renowned archaeologists and gender theorists. These essays place gender in the context of the past, by approaching the data in light of the previous decades of gender research. Issues such as tool-making, hunting, and evolution take on new meaning as the contributors examine the impact of gender worldwide. They do so in terms of the theories, methods, and ways of teaching and learning amassed through archaeological data. These essays provide insight into the study of gender in archaeology and will prove valuable to the scholarship of gender-based theory.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This work is the first complete corpus of Greek inscriptions issued by city institutions in honour of their female citizens and foreigners, with the exclusion of Hellenistic queens and women belonging to families of the Roman magistrates. The corpus lists 1131 women fulfilling such criteria. The Greek texts are accompanied by lemmata, English translations and relevant commentaries. Based on the collected evidence, the authors analyse the phenomenon of honorific inscriptions for women as an important symptom of change of citizen mentality. Pointing to the political context in which such honours were bestowed, the phrasing of the texts, character of praiseworthy actions, and the fact that these honours were carved in stone and set up in conspicuous places in cities all reflect what the male part of the city populace thought about women in general and their presence in public spaces in particular. The book is a helpful resource for all those interested in ancient history, social history, and gender studies.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Although Phryne is considered the most famous of the many Greek courtesans who flocked to Athens during the fourth century BCE, until now there have been no modern attempts to reconstruct her life. Phryne of Thespiae offers an innovative biography that examines key moments of Phyrne's life that have been dismissed as male fantasies, arguing that many of them could have plausibly originated in historical events. The portrait that emerges is that of a powerful and socially consequential woman whose wealth and connections helped to shape the society in which she lived.

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.

Download or read book Law and Society in Classical Athens (Routledge Revivals) written by Richard Garner and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2014-03-18 with total page 172 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Law and Society in Classical Athens, first published in 1987, traces the development of legal thought and its relation to Athenian values. Previously Athens’ courts have been regarded as chaotic, isolated from the rest of society and even bizarre. The importance of rhetoric and the mischief made by Aristophanes have devalued the legal process in the eyes of modern scholars, whilst the analysis of legal codes and practice has seemed dauntingly complex. Professor Garner aims to situate the Athenian legal system within the general context of abstract thought on justice and of the democratic politics of the fifth century. His work is a valuable source of information on all aspects of Athenian law and its relation to culture.
