Discuss the role of women in Greek society as illustrated by Homer’s text: how are they perceived by Greek culture, particularly in comparison to men?

Most sources on the social position of women in ancient Greece date from the classical and post-classical periods.

Explanation:

There are not many sources on the position of women in ancient Greece. The disunity of Greek towns has also resulted in a lack of references, so today we know some details about the status of women from Athens and Sparta. Relative to men in general, the woman was in an inferior position. Women were banned from education, and from the moment democracy was established in Athens, she was barred from voting. The woman's only task was to give birth to offspring. Unlike Athena, women were more appreciated in Sparta. They were in a better position, even able to participate in public life. Unlike Athena, a woman in Sparta was allowed the right to think.
