"For classicist Daisy Dunn, the women of the ancient world were up to something much more interesting than other histories would lead us to believe. In this work, Dunn reconceives our understanding of the ancient world by emphasizing women's roles within it. Spanning three thousand years, the story moves from Minoan Crete to Mycenaean Greece, from Lesbos to Asia Minor, from the Persian Empire to the royal court of Macedonia, and concludes with Rome and its growing empire"-- Adapted from dust jacket flap.
