Description

Explore the life and legacy of one of the ancient Mediterranean's most famous women in Prisoner of History: Aspasia of Miletus and Her Biographical Tradition. Published by Oxford University Press, this work examines the legendary figure often described as a courtesan, teacher of Socrates, and political adviser to Pericles. Madeleine Henry moves beyond the uncritical reception of Attic comedy and Plutarch's accounts to investigate the real contributions of Aspasia to Greek thought. By combining traditional philological and historical analysis with feminist critical perspectives, this book seeks to understand the woman behind the legend. This is an essential read for those interested in historical biography and the study of ancient Greek women.
