| Summary |
"With a vibrant new perspective on women in the classical world, Biographical Dictionary of Ancient Greek and Roman Women recounts more than 400 of their stories. From pagan Greece in the seventh century B.C.E. to the rise of Christianity in the fourth century C.E. and from all corners of the Greek and Roman worlds - Britain to Egypt, Syria to Mauritania, and everywhere in between - the women included are notable for their own accomplishments as well as for their family ties. Poets and poisoners, wives and mistresses, businesswomen and slaves, rulers and victims - all are given their due. Alphabetically arranged for easy access and complete with a registry that charts each woman's often tangled relationships with others profiled within, Biographical Dictionary of Ancient Greek and Roman Women is essential for those interested in classical history or women's studies."--Jacket. |
