Women in Greek Myth

by Mary R Lefkowitz

This study of Greek literature shows the very postive role of women in their lives apart from men, in marriage, in politics, in self-sacrifice, and that men feared their intelligence more than their sexuality. This updated and expanded edition includes six new chapters on such topics as heroic women in Greek epic, seduction and rape in Greek myth, and the parts played by women in ancient rites and festivals, as well as revising all the original chapters in the light of recent scholarship. 238p b/w pls (Duckworth 1986, 2nd ed 2007)
