Description

Book Synopsis
Revisiting the original chapters as well to incorporate two decades of more recent scholarship, Lefkowitz again shows that what Greek men both feared and valued in women was not their sexuality but their intelligence.

Trade Review
The evidence Lefkowitz provides in the new chapters bolsters her claims and makes this edition a necessary replacement of the former. Choice 2008
