Dangerous Gifts: Gender and Exchange in Ancient Greece
Deborah Lyons
Gifts and exchanges always involve a certain risk in any culture, but in the ancient Greek imagination, women and gifts appear to be a deadly combination. This book explores the role of gender in exchange as represented in ancient Greek culture, including Homeric epic and tragedy, and non-literary texts.
