Book Synopsis
Demonstrates the varying conceptions of an institution that was central to ancient social and political life-and remains prominent in the modern world. This book contributes to understanding of the era and will fascinate anyone interested in depictions of marriage and the role and status of women in the late Hellenistic and early Imperial periods.

Trade Review
A highly original group of essays. The authors (as well as the editors) have splendidly accomplished their goal of documenting how close study of the language and iconography, and careful scrutiny of artistic and literary qualities and allusions, illuminate evolving attitudes about marriage. They have made a major contribution to the study of marriage in Greco-Roman antiquity." —Judith P. Hallett, University of Maryland, College Park

"Illuminating. Presents a good mixture of work by an international array of senior and midcareer scholars." —Sarah B. Pomeroy, Hunter College and the Graduate School of the City of New York
