Publisher's Synopsis

Feminism in Greek Literature from Homer to Aristotle is a book written by F. A. Wright that explores the portrayal of women in ancient Greek literature. The book analyzes the works of famous Greek poets and philosophers such as Homer, Hesiod, Euripides, and Aristotle, and examines the ways in which they depicted women in their works. Wright argues that ancient Greek literature reveals a complex and often contradictory attitude towards women, with some authors portraying them as strong and powerful figures while others depict them as weak and subordinate. The book also explores the role of women in ancient Greek society and how their portrayal in literature reflects their position in society. Overall, Feminism in Greek Literature from Homer to Aristotle provides a comprehensive analysis of the representation of women in ancient Greek literature and sheds light on the role of gender in ancient Greek culture.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
