Summary

Women and Slaves in Greco-Roman Culturereveals 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 love poems of Ovid, the Greek medical writers and the archaeological remains of a slave mining camp near Athens. They argue that the distinctions between male and female and servile and free were inextricably connected. This erudite and well-documented book helps to recapture the lives of ancient women and slaves and addresses the ways in which femaleness and servility interacted with other forms of difference, such as class, gender and status.
