Demosthenes

The line of treatment between men and women in the ancient world had never been blurred. Viewed almost worse than the respective treatment of men and women was the distinct differences that women faced within diverse cultures. Egyptian, Greek, and Roman women were given little to no rights, but these rights differed based on where a particular woman had been raised. Contrasting the safe guards for women in their own nations is how I plan to structure the continuation of the essay. Worth…

Anne Bradstreet expresses humility throughout her poems, which emphasize the gender inequality that women face in the 17th century Puritan America into which she was born. Bradstreet writes poems during a time when women are not treated equal as writers or academics, and her writing displays how she faces discrimination on a regular basis. Edward Taylor, a male poet during the same period as Bradstreet, displays humility and self-effacement in his poems, like Bradstreet; however, the difference…

In the beginning of this course we were able to decide our groups, and with that we would be picking what area of research we will as a group study throughout the semester. I knew right away that I wanted to be apart of the group that studies religion. I chose this group because I personally am a very religious person, and the only thing I have ever learned about ancient Greece and ancient Rome was their mythology and religion. What I expected to find through my research was people being…

There is one issue that all ancient Greek art historians and archeologist agree on. That issue is that the reason why the Parthenon frieze cannot be correctly solved is that there is no ancient literature or sources that appropriately archives the context of the frieze. Without contextual evidence, the intertextuality of the subject matter corresponding to the Parthenon frieze becomes ambiguous to the modern viewer. Modern academics can only conceptualize and speculate about what the images of…
