Abstract

Des jeunes filles chantent en chœur le désir homoérotique que leur inspire leur chorège tout en disant leur relation rituelle avec une déesse, incarnation de la beauté féminine. Les mots chantés sur un pas de danse chorale ont été composés par un poète masculin au service de la cité de Sparte, pourtant célèbre pour sa culture militaire masculine. À l’exemple des poèmes dits parthénées du poète Alcman, on s’interroge successivement sur les formes poétiques et rituelles assumées par une sexualité dépassant l’opposition moderne entre hétéro- et homosexualité, sur les rapports sociaux et religieux de sexe que ces performances poétiques mettent en jeu, sur la culture musicale du chant qu’elles impliquent avec ses formes institutionnelles, sur des pratiques rituelles adossées aux récits héroïques fondateurs de la cité, sur les qualités et fonctions des divinités auxquelles sont destinées ces célébrations politiques et religieuses de l’adolescence féminine : Artémis, Apollon, Héra, Aphrodite et, à Sparte, Hélène.En combinaison avec une perspective d’histoire des religions en régime polythéiste, l’approche offerte par l’anthropologie culturelle et sociale invite à aborder la fonction sociale autant de ces performances musicales que des relations sexuelles impliquées. La comparaison anthropologique avec les processus rituels de l’initiation tribale permet de saisir le sens esthétique et politique de l’éducation chorale et rituelle des jeunes filles en Grèce ancienne ; ce processus éducatif à caractère initiatique les prépare aux rôles différenciés de sexe et aux statuts sociaux qu’elles assument en tant qu’adultes.

Abstract

In Pythagorean Women, classical scholar Sarah B. Pomeroy discusses the groundbreaking principles that Pythagoras established for family life in Archaic Greece, such as constituting a single standard of sexual conduct for women and men. Among the Pythagoreans, women played an important role and participated actively in the philosophical life. While Pythagoras encouraged women to be submissive to men, his reasoning was based on the desire to preserve harmony in the home. Pythagorean Women provides English translations of all the earliest extant examples of literary Greek prose by Neopythagorean women, shedding light on their attitudes about marriage, the home, music, and the cosmos. Pomeroy sets the Pythagorean and Neopythagorean women vividly in their historical, ecological, and intellectual contexts, illustrated with original photographs of sites and artifacts known to these women.

Abstract

For centuries, classical scholars have intensely debated the "position of women" in classical Athens. Did women have a vast but informal power, or were they little better than slaves? Using methods developed from feminist anthropology, Winkler steps back from this narrowly framed question and puts it in the larger context of how sex and gender in ancient Greece were culturally constructed. His innovative approach uncovers the very real possibilities for female autonomy that existed in Greek society.

Abstract

At once daring and authoritative, this book offers a profusely illustrated history of sexual politics in ancient Athens. The phallus was pictured everywhere in ancient Athens: painted on vases, sculpted in marble, held aloft in gigantic form in public processions, and shown in stage comedies. This obsession with the phallus dominated almost every aspect of public life, influencing law, myth, and customs, affecting family life, the status of women, even foreign policy. This is the first book to draw together all the elements that made up the "reign of the phallus"--men's blatant claim to general dominance, the myths of rape and conquest of women, and the reduction of sex to a game of dominance and submission, both of women by men and of men by men. In her elegant and lucid text Eva Keuls not only examines the ideology and practices that underlay the reign of the phallus, but also uncovers an intense counter-movement--the earliest expressions of feminism and antimilitarism. Complementing the text are 345 reproductions of Athenian vase paintings. Some have been reproduced in a larger format and gathered in an appendix for easy reference and closer study. These revealing illustrations are a vivid demonstration that classical Athens was more sexually polarized and repressive of women than any other culture in Western history.
