{"product_id":"women-in-classical-athens-sue-blundell-9781853995439","title":"Women in Classical Athens","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis book takes as its starting-point the images of women in the Parthenon sculptures, in order to investigate two levels of feminine experience in Classical Athens, the human and the divine. The inter-play between women's religious prominence and their domestic obscurity is examined in relation to the young citizen women who lead the procession; while the great goddesses represented in the frieze are studies in terms of their relationships with their human worshippers and, on a symbolic level, with the mythological females, such as the Amazons, who appear in the metopes. Finally, the book turns to a third aspect of th e feminine experience, and looks at the women who do not appear in the Parthenon sculptures - the prostitutes, slaves and alien women who made a vital economic and ideological contribution to the Athenian achievement.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Sue Blundell\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1853995436\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781853995439\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Bristol Classical Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 11\/27\/1998\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 148\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.33lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.52h x 5.50w x 0.26d","brand":"Sue Blundell","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44125491003647,"sku":"9781853995439","price":26.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_86480151-a3ef-437e-9937-84ab4658b0ce.jpg?v=1687442932","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/women-in-classical-athens-sue-blundell-9781853995439","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
