From the library of Prof. Wolfgang Haase, long-time editor of ANRW and the International Journal of the Classical Tradition (IJCT). - Folded crosswise, cover rubbed, otherwise clean - From the text: After more than a decade of intensive study there is a good deal that can now be take…n for granted about the way women were perceived in fifth-century Athens. Most people, I think, would accept the conclusions reached by John Gould in his major article in JHS 1980: Women are not part of, do not belong easily in, the male ordered world of the civilised community; they have to be accounted for in other terms, and they threaten continually to overturn its stability or subvert its continuity, to break out of the place assigned to them by their partial incorporation within it. Yet they are essential to it: they are producers and bestowers of wealth and children, the guarantors of due succession, the guardians of the oikos and its hearth. Men are their sons, and are brought up. as children, by them and among them. Like the earth and once-wild animals, they must be tamed and cultivated by men, but their wildness will out. Directing the focus more specifically to literature, we can trace a similar ambivalence in the poetic tradition on which tragedy drew. In archaic poetry women are objects of exchange, prizes in battle or games, valued for their physical attributes and their skills in the care of the household (spinning and weaving, the rearing of children). They have an important role in cult, both public and private: they contribute in the ritual sphere to the continuity of the community, and they are responsible for the lamentation and tending of the dead. They are always liable to be victims of male aggression, and when a city is sacked they face widowhood, rape and enslavement; but they are not just passive sufferers, since they are given voices with which to articulate and lament the communal sorrows. - Wikipedia: Patricia Elizabeth Easterling, FBA (née Fairfax; born 11 March 1934) is an English classical scholar, recognised as a particular expert on the work of Sophocles.
