FREE LECTURE: Secluded or Active? Reconstructing Women’s Lives in Ancient Athens

Get a taste of what's to come at this free talk presented by your Summer School lecturer, Dr Christopher Gribbin. Were ancient Athenian women hidden away at home, or were they active members of their community? The answer is complicated. This talk will look at evidence from historians, legal cases, literature, vase paintings and the remains of ancient houses to explore what we can really know about the role and status of women in ancient Athens.

11AM Sun 29 November, online or in-person at the Hellenic Museum. Bookings essential – click here to reserve your free place.
