When Men Were Men: Masculinity, Power and Identity in Classical Antiquity [Pehme köide]

Edited by , Edited by , Introduction by
When Men Were Men questions the deep-set assumption that men's history speaks and has always spoken for all of us, by exploring the history of classical antiquity as an explicitly masculine story.
With a preface by Sarah Pomeroy, this study employs different methodologies and focuses on a broad range of source materials, periods and places.
