By offering answers to these questions, this study aims to recover and reconstruct an important dimension of the lived experience of ancient Greek women. A comprehensive and sophisticated investigation of the ritual roles of women in ancient Greece, it draws on a wide range of evidence from across the Greek world, including literary and historical texts, inscriptions, and vase-paintings, to assemble a portrait of women as religious and cultural agents, despite the ideals of seclusion within the home and exclusion from public arenas that we know restricted their lives. As she builds a picture of the extent and diversity of women's ritual activity, Barbara Goff shows that they were entrusted with some of the most important processes by which the community guaranteed its welfare. She examines the ways in which women's ritual activity addressed issues of sexuality and civic participation, showing that ritual could offer women genuinely alternative roles and identities even while it worked to produce wives and mothers who functioned well in this male-dominated society. Moving to more speculative analysis, she discusses the possibility of a women's subculture focused on ritual and investigates the significance of ritual in women's poetry and vase-paintings that depict women. She also includes a substantial exploration of the representation of women as ritual agents in fifth-century Athenian drama. 606 $aGreek literature$xHistory and criticism 606 $aRites and ceremonies in literature 606 $aReligion and literature$zGreece 606 $aWomen$xReligious life$zGreece 606 $aWomen and literature$zGreece 606 $aRites and ceremonies$zGreece 606 $aReligion in literature 606 $aWomen in literature 606 $aWomen$zGreece 610 $aancient greece. 610 $aancient history. 610 $aantiquities. 610 $aarchaeology. 610 $aathens. 610 $aclassicism. 610 $acommunity. 610 $adomesticity. 610 $adrama. 610 $afemale sexuality. 610 $afeminist theory. 610 $afolkore. 610 $agender roles. 610 $agender studies. 610 $agender. 610 $agreek art. 610 $agreek drama. 610 $agreek literature. 610 $agreek women. 610 $agreek world. 610 $ahellenism. 610 $aliterary criticism. 610 $amythology. 610 $anonfiction. 610 $apatriarchy. 610 $areligion. 610 $arite. 610 $aritual. 610 $asacred. 610 $aseclusion. 610 $asexuality. 610 $atheater. 610 $atheatre. 610 $atheology. 610 $atradition. 610 $avase painting. 610 $awomen and religion. 610 $awomen. 610 $awomens poetry. 610 $awomens studies. 615 0$aGreek literature$xHistory and criticism. 615 0$aRites and ceremonies in literature. 615 0$aReligion and literature 615 0$aWomen$xReligious life 615 0$aWomen and literature 615 0$aRites and ceremonies 615 0$aReligion in literature. 615 0$aWomen in literature. 615 0$aWomen 676 $a880.9/355 700 $aGoff$b Barbara E$0188210 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910783389503321 996 $aCitizen Bacchae$91105584 997 $aUNINA
