Editorial Reviews

This book, his revised dissertation, takes up the position of women in mainland Greece and the
islands down to 200 B.C. It is a delight to read, both for its detailed analyses and its general assessments. Conventionally, Greek women have been pictured as lacking independent economic rights, their nearest male relative serving as kyrios or guardian.
