Women and Slaves in Greco-Roman Culture: Differential Equations

Women and Slaves in Classical Culture examines how ancient societies were organized around slave-holding and the subordination of women. It reveals how women and slaves interacted with one another in both the cultural representations and the social realities of the Greco-Roman world. The contributors explore a broad range of evidence including: the mythical constructions of epic and drama the love poems of Ovid the Greek medical writers Augustine’s autobiography a haunting account of an unnamed Roman slave the archaeological remains of a slave mining camp near Athens.
