Lots of interesting perspectives on marriage in Ancient Greece. Regardless of the fact that the book concerns plays (to what extent do plays reflect reality in the Ancient Greek world?). Social stratification really comes forward in ‘Dyskolos’ also a remarkable open mindedness of marrying outside one’s social class. I also have noticed dramaturgic elements in ‘Samia’. I def will write more in my end review!

The introduction is necessary, also a very dense read. Afterwards it’s starting to be a bit lighter. Interesting perspective on military, the masses and church patriarchs.
