{"product_id":"women-at-war-in-the-classical-world","title":"Women at War in the Classical World \nby Paul Chrystal","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003ePaul 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eMore 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.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Books Feri","offers":[{"title":"Premium Paperback","offer_id":45702224740543,"sku":null,"price":250.0,"currency_code":"BDT","in_stock":true},{"title":"Premium Hardcover","offer_id":45702224773311,"sku":null,"price":350.0,"currency_code":"BDT","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0692\/8148\/0895\/files\/51Y3vSJN5TL.jpg?v=1780810268","url":"https:\/\/booksferi.store\/products\/women-at-war-in-the-classical-world","provider":"Books Feri","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
