Life and Thought in the Greek and Roman World (1961) aims to provide a brief but comprehensive outline sketch of Greek and Roman civilization. It describes the geographic, political and social background of that civilization, and sets forth its main achievements in the fields of language and literature, scholarship and education, science and philosophy, art and religion. The authors have endeavoured throughout to present Greek and Roman civilization as an organic whole.
This highly acclaimed collection provides a unique look into the public and private lives and legal status of Greek and Roman women of all social classes-from wet nurses, prostitutes, and gladiatrixes to poets, musicians, intellectuals, priestesses, and housewives. The third edition adds new texts to sections throughout the book, vividly describing women's sentiments and circumstances through readings on love, bereavement, and friendship, as well as property rights, breast cancer, female circumcision, and women's roles in ancient religions, including Christianity and pagan cults.
