Description:
Johns Hopkins University Press, 2015. Hardcover. New. A collection of scholarly work showing how women played a greater role in battle and war than previously thought. New hardcover with print on boards. B & W photos. Maps. Bibliography. Contains Indexes Locorum, Nominum and Rerum. 360 pp. Publisher's blurb, The martial virtues―courage, loyalty, cunning, and strength―were central to male identity in the ancient world, and antique literature is replete with depictions of men cultivating and exercising these virtues on the battlefield. In Women and War in Antiquity, sixteen scholars reexamine classical sources to uncover the complex but hitherto unexplored relationship between women and war in ancient Greece and Rome. They reveal that women played a much more active role in battle than previously assumed, embodying martial virtues in both real and mythological combat. The essays in the collection, taken from the first meeting of the European Research Network on Gender Studies in Antiquity,… Read More
