Quotes by Thomas Van Nortwick  (?)
Quotes are added by the Goodreads community and are not verified by Goodreads. (Learn more)

“women had to be controlled and kept from going wild because of their inherent susceptibility to lust; thus men had to exercise aidos, “shame,” and sophrosyne, “soundness of mind,” to keep women from transgressing the bounds of propriety.”
Thomas Van Nortwick, Imagining Men: Ideals of Masculinity in Ancient Greek Culture

“because women were also believed to be closer to the raw forces of nature than were males, controlling their power was, for the adult male, part of the larger project of creating human civilization itself.”
Thomas Van Nortwick, Imagining Men: Ideals of Masculinity in Ancient Greek Culture

“The need to control others as a prerequisite for male agency presupposed self-control. That imperative, in turn, included both the physical and emotional dimensions of a man’s bodily self.”
Thomas Van Nortwick, Imagining Men: Ideals of Masculinity in Ancient Greek Culture
