Customer Reviews of The Woman and the Lyre: Women Writers in Classical Greece and Rome
Excellent step toward women's history in the world When anyone talks about women in ancient Greece or Rome I always have one question: how do you know that when women left behind so few records? Snyder addresses this question by relying heavily on surviving poems by women and there aren't many of them. While it is difficult to just let women speak for themselves, I think that this record of surviving works is useful just for that reason -- Snyder's interpretations have been argued about but the fact remains that little survives. I especially like that an attempt at contextualizing the poetry is made and this is not easy to do when little "factual" evidence about the poets themselves exists that is untainted by bias throughout history.
