NY exhibit unveils women's lives in ancient Greece

A woman's place has never been just in the home - not even in ancient Greece. The proof is in an exhibit titled "Worshiping Women: Ritual and Reality in Classical Athens" - a collection of artifacts that correct the cliched idea of Athenian women as passive, homebound nurturers of men and children.

Thanks for the ping and the post.

Beauty was valuable, obviously.

NOt only beauty = that is transitory as Socrates referred to it -— - but the more intellectual and spiritual gifts are important as well. Artemisia, Gorgo, Olympias, Hyparchia, Anyte et al.

I’m amazed that St Paul greets women. Calls them co-workers. Refers to one of them as “deaconess.” Even calls one of the women an Apostle.

Greek women through the Byzantine years - have been the most faithful of Christian stewards.

I’m not sure the policy is really worth anything, they only accept payment in Monopoly money.

I wouldn’t dare not approve (ducking)!
