ESSAY ON: Strong Women in Ancient Greek Theatre

Number of Pages 10

This research paper: A 10 page research paper that examines the heroines of several ancient Greek plays. Modern students of ancient Greek culture tend to see the reality of women's lives during this period as being one of suppression and patriarchal domination. Interestingly, however, this perspective differs considerably from the viewpoint expressed by ancient Greek playwrights such as Sophocles, Euripides and Aristophanes. Each of these men created plays in which female characters are strong, intelligent, controlling and powerful, which suggests that women were perceived in a way that contrasted with their official social role. Bibliography lists 5 sources.
