About This Book
The essays trace how women are depicted across Greek lyric, tragic and comic poetry, arguing that earlier verse centers male same-sex affection while a distinctly romantic ideal of male love for women appears later. The writer challenges claims that this change flowed directly from social emancipation or originated with commonly credited dramatists, suggesting an earlier poetic source instead. Close readings of fragments and plays, textual emendations, and focused excursuses on comic and tragic passages are employed to map shifting themes, stylistic tendencies, and the cultural meanings attached to women in successive Greek poetic traditions.
