Yet relatively little scholarly or popular attention has focused on women's relationships in antiquity, in contrast to recent interest in the relationships between men in ancient Greece and Rome. The essays in this book seek to close this gap by exploring a wide variety of textual and archaeological evidence for women's homosocial and homoerotic relationships from prehistoric Greece to fifth-century CE Egypt. Drawing on developments in feminist theory, gay and lesbian studies, and queer theory, as well as traditional textual and art historical methods, the contributors to this volume examine representations of women's lives with other women, their friendships, and sexual subjectivity. They present new interpretations of the evidence offered by the literary works of Sappho, Ovid, and Lucian; Bronze Age frescoes and Greek vase painting, funerary reliefs, and other artistic representations; and Egyptian legal documents. 606 $aLesbianism$xHistory$yTo 500 606 $aLesbians in art 606 $aArt, Classical 606 $aLesbians in literature 606 $aClassical literature$xHistory and criticism 606 $aCivilization, Classical 615 0$aLesbianism$xHistory 615 0$aLesbians in art. 615 0$aArt, Classical. 615 0$aLesbians in literature. 615 0$aClassical literature$xHistory and criticism. 615 0$aCivilization, Classical. 676 $a305.48/9664/09 701 $aRabinowitz$b Nancy Sorkin$0629033 701 $aAuanger$b Lisa$f1965-$01633175 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910815553003321 996 $aAmong women$93972785 997 $aUNINA
