Gender & Sexuality in the Ancient Literature : In the literary sources for the ancient Mediterranean, women were often an afterthought, as only a small percentage of the entire surviving corpus speaks of women\xe2\x80\x99s lives. And of these sources, almost all were written by men. Therefore, we must often turn to plays, poetry, and archaeology in order to reconstruct the lives of ancient women. However, although plays and poetry did reflect everyday life and had scenarios which resonated with audiences, the female characters were often archetypes, their femininity constructed through a male gaze. They are innocent maidens, dutiful matrons, scheming crones, or hyper-sexualised creatures with no control over their emotions or desires. This course seeks not only to analyse the lives of women in antiquity, but also to explore how literature was used as a lens for the construction of gender and sexuality in the ancient Mediterranean world.
