In this collection, leading scholars explore the marital views expressed in Plutarch's works and the art, philosophy, and literature produced by his contemporaries and predecessors.\u003cbr\u003e Through aesthetically informed and sensitive modes of analysis, these contributors examine a wealth of representations—including violence in weddings and spousal devotion after death.\u003ci\u003e The Discourse of Marriage in the Greco-Roman World\u003c\/i\u003e demonstrates the varying conceptions of an institution that was central to ancient social and political life-and remains prominent in the modern world. This volume will contribute to scholars' understanding of the era and fascinate anyone interested in historic depictions of marriage and the role and status of women in the late Hellenistic and early Imperial periods.","brand":"University of Wisconsin Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":55555007643992,"sku":"9780299328443","price":25.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0278\/1295\/4195\/files\/9780299328443_1ad6d339-8012-4dfe-b4c6-758f624a51d4.jpg?v=1778676369","url":"https:\/\/agendabookshop.com\/products\/discourse-of-marriage-in-the-greco-roman-world-1","provider":"Agenda Bookshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
