Weaving and Dialectical Politics in Homer, Aristophanes, and Plato

• Gebundenes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

This book shows that the metaphor of the quintessentially feminine art of weaving in Homer's Odyssey, Aristophanes' Lysistrata, and Plato's Statesman and Phaedo conveys complex and inclusive teachings about human nature and political life that address the concerns of women more effectively than commonly believed.
