Top 10 Athens (DK Eyewitness Top 10 Travel Guide), DK, New Book
07 Dec, 2017
Excellent
As far as pocket size tourist guide go this one is excellent and will not disappoint. I took it with me to Athens on a short visit to the city and it proved to be a good iinformative companion. And good value, too.
The Reign of the Phallus: Sexual Politics in Ancient Athens by Eva C. Keuls-1985
07 May, 2019
Somewhat Subjective
I found this book quite interesting, not only because of its informative content but also because of its 20th/21st century "feminist" undertones and subjective interpretations. Words such as "denigrate", "sequester", "gynophobia", etc. could only be the unfair outcome of applying paradigms from our modern social times in the West to a Great civilisation of thousands of years ago. Here are some brief thoughts and considerations. How long has it taken the Christian church to accept women as priests? A subject which continues to be controversial to this day. In ancient Greece it was women "Priestesses", that had the ultimate authority or power to administer religious rites. Deities were devided in female and male gods and goddesses. Economy is derived from the Greek word "oikonomia" from "oikonomos" meaning "Manager of a Household". In ancient Greece, women although removed from political affairs and responsibilities, they had great responsibility in running and managing all of their household affairs. In theatrical plays, both comedies and tradegies, women characters were given extremely powerful and poignant roles, (Medea, Lysistrata, Electra, etc.). They weren't allowed to perform on stage, but they weren't in Shakespeare's time either. In 1907 Annette Kellerman was arrested for indecency because she was wearing a fitted one-piece bathing suit in public. In 1920s, officials were tasked by authorities to measure women’s bathing suits above the knee, and women were fined if their suits were considered to be too short. In the Boston 1967 Marathon race organisers attempted to stop Kathrine Switzer from competing. And finally how long has it taken for the electoral system to allow voting by women in the West (Ref: Suffrage movements in 19th/20th centuries where women frustrated by their social and economic situation...!)? I’ll leave out if this review, the homophobic culture of recent times, that led to the inhumane and cruel treatment of many, (Oscar Wilde, Alan Turing, etc.) or indeed earlier, in medieval times, the impalement and other unthinkable tortures women were subjected to because they were considered to be witches! How could someone, make these rather sweeping interpretations, venomous at times, and draw hyperbolic conclusions from the study of a set of artistic "erotica" vase paintings and of comedy and tragedy plays, defeats comprehension. I wonder what interpretation would be given to the so called "erotica" photo-pornographic filth and obscene material available in abundance today! However, whatever the case and view one wishes to maintain or adopt, it is clear that the subject of ancient Greece continues to evoke an immense interest and fascination.
Damage DVD (2003) Jeremy Irons
28 Sep, 2017
Excellent!
An excellent film with great acting by Jeremy Irons and Juliette Binoche. Full of complex and hidden feelings, not of romance but of obsession.
