Authentic impressions of the psyche and experience of ancient Greek women are hard to come by. The three volumes of this complex and wide-ranging novel reveal Elpinike and her friends over a period of a day and a half, at a crucial time in Athenian, and world history. The novel is intended for those readers who may never have studied the languages and cultures of antiquity, but to whom themes such as the origins of democracy and the free thought of Athens are of interest. Scholars of Athenian history in the early democratic era will also find much to interest them. The reviews of all, whatever their educational background, will be most welcome.
