Abstract

This book offers a re-appraisal of domestic space in classical Greece and approaches to studying it. Starting from the premise that we must cease to view the classical Greek house through the lens of contemporary Western notions of the household, the book provides a fresh evaluation of what home meant to different communities in the ancient Greek world. By employing textual analysis alongside archaeological scholarship the book seeks to explain some of the contradictions that previous, more simplistic approaches have left unanswered and offer new perspectives on relations between men and women, between public and private, and between home and city in the communities of classical Greece.
