This seminar is a comprehensive exploration of women, both their myth and their reality in the ancient Greek world, through extant visual and literary representations. The course is organized both by subject matter (divine figures, heroines, amazons, courtesans, etc.) and by theme (festivals, drama, religious participation, daily life, marriage, etc.), and offers theoretical and methodological insight throughout the semester. The students will also read key texts from gender theory along with relevant primary and secondary literature on women and gender in ancient Greece. The aim of the course is to obtain familiarity with scholarly methodologies regarding gender through the lens of antiquity, with an emphasis on the analysis of visual evidence, at the same time gain critical insight into women's history in ancient Greece, through their artistic representations.
