Sobre este artículo
Pen and Sword Military, 2017. Hardcover. New/New. New hardcover in new dust jacket. Text is clean and free of marks or underlining. 8vo. (6.1 x 1.1 x 9.3 inches) Includes bibliography, index, and photo plates. 256 pp.
Fast shipping in a secure book box mailer with tracking. This is the first full treatment of women and warfare in Classical Greece and Rome, not only looking at the mythical women and goddesses but also very real female gladiators.
Paul Chrystal has written the first full length study of women and warfare in the Graeco Roman world. Although the conduct of war was generally monopolized by men, there were plenty of exceptions with women directly involved in its direction and even as combatants, Artemisia, Olympias, Cleopatra and Agrippina the Elder being famous examples. And both Greeks and Romans encountered women among their barbarian enemies, such as Tomyris, Boudicca and Zenobia.
More commonly, of course, women were directly affected by war as noncombatant victims of rape and enslavement as spoils of war and this makes up an important strand of the authors discussion. The portrayal of female warriors and goddesses in classical mythology and literature, and the use of war to justify gender roles and hierarchies, are also considered. Overall it is a landmark survey of how war in the Classical world affected and was affected by women.
