Paperback. Zustand: Good. Although Greek society was largely male-dominated, it gave rise to a strong tradition of female authorship. Women poets of ancient Greece and Rome have long fascinated readers, even though much of their poetry survives only in fragmentary form.This pathbreaking volume is the first collection of essays to examine virtually all surviving poetry by Greek and Roman women.
