Greek Women: Working with Evidence - Primary and Secondary

Primary Source Evidence - Objects View the following objects and describe what you see. Refer to: The settings and what the women are doing there The way women are dressed Any poses or gestures that capture your attention

Group Activity Discuss what inferences historians could make about Greek women based on the objects you are about to view. Divide your inferences into these three categories: What is known for certain? What is probable? What is unsure (you are guessing)? Inference = “a conclusion reached on the basis of evidence and reasoning”

Description of Objects 1. Woman playing lyre instrument; perhaps Sapho the poet with two of her female students. 2. Women working with wool, showing the five step process involved in making the family’s clothing. 3. Running girl; thought to be Spartan. Spartan girls participated in Olympic-like games celebrating the goddess Hera. Running was one of the sports. 4. Water jar showing women filling water jars at a fountain house. 5. Goddess Athena on an amphora of oil given as a prize at the Panathenaic games. 6. Grave stele (marker) for the woman Iostrate shown with her servant girl. The The teacher would probably not give this information until after the students had made their own inferences.

Now what? Where would you go for more evidence? It is important to go to the right type of source for evidence and question its pros and cons for your purpose (to understand the role of Greek women): Other primary sources… Secondary sources Scholarly sources (that probably rely on (interpret) many primary sources) Textbooks (that may or may not refer to primary sources; are probably based on secondary sources)

Written PSD Examples Hipponax, On Women, c. 580 BCE Two happy days a woman brings a man: the first, when he marries her; the second, when he bears her to the grave. Thukydides, Pericles' Dictum on Women, c. 395 BCE The best wife is the one of whom the least is said, either of good or evil. Philemon, The Good Wife, c. 350 BCE A good wife's duty 'tis, Nicostratus, not to command, but to obey her spouse; most mischievous a wife who rules her husband.
