Rather than relying on a male viewpoint, the essays offer a female perspective on the lifecycle of motherhood. Although almost all ancient authors are men, this book nevertheless aims to unpack carefully the role of the mother--not as projected by the son or other male relations, but from a woman's own experiences--in order to better understand how they perceived themselves and their families. Because the primary interest is in the mothers themselves, rather than the authors of the texts in which they appear, the work is organized according to the lifecycle of motherhood instead of the traditional structure of the chronology of male authors. The chronology of the male authors ranges from classical Greece to late antiquity, while the motherly lifecycle ranges from pre-conception to the commemoration of offspring who have died before their mothers."--$cProvided by publisher. 410 0$aPhoenix.$pSupplementary ;$vVolume 57. 606 $aClassical literature$xHistory and criticism 606 $aPhilosophy, Ancient 606 $aMothers in literature 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aClassical literature$xHistory and criticism. 615 0$aPhilosophy, Ancient. 615 0$aMothers in literature. 676 $a880.09 702 $aSharrock$b Alison 702 $aKeith$b Alison 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910586000003321 996 $aMaternal conceptions in classical literature and philosophy$92904171 997 $aUNINA
