In outstanding essays covering material from Classical Athens to the Roman Empire, this volume commemorates the ground-breaking work of Sarah Pomeroy in establishing women's studies as an essential part of classical scholarship. One could hardly imagine a better demonstration of the debt owed to her and to her revolution of the discipline, yet moving into the next phase of scholarship. From goddesses to whores, wives, and slaves, they are all here.
