WS 124 - Women in the Ancient World

The ancient Mediterranean was a man’s world, but Greek and Roman literature is full of powerful, often frightening women – who challenge society, change laws, commit family murders, rule kingdoms and empires openly or from behind the scenes, or lead armies. Along with recent work in social history, readings will include works (in English translation) by Aeschylus, Sophocles, Euripides, Aristophanes, Catullus, Cicero, Tacitus, and Virgil.
