This book investigates how varying practices of gender shaped people's lives and experiences across the societies of ancient Greece and Rome. Exploring how gender was linked with other socio-political characteristics such as wealth, status, age and life-stage, as well as with individual choices, in the very different world of classical antiquity is fascinating in its own right. But later perceptions of ancient literature and art have profoundly influenced the development of gendered ideologies and hierarchies in the West, and influenced the study of gender itself. Questioning how best to untangle and interpret difficult sources is a key aim. This book exploits a wide range of archaeological, material cultural, visual, spatial, demographic, epigraphical and literary evidence to consider households, families, life-cycles and the engendering of time, legal and political institutions, beliefs about bodies, sex and sexuality, gender and space, the economic implications of engendered practices, and gender in religion and magic.

Zur Erschließung unserer Thematik konnte aus einem sehr umfangreichen, Quellen-und Dokumentationsmaterial geschöpft werden, das aus einer Anzahl von unterschiedlichen Wissenschaften gespeist wurde: 3 Hinsichtlich der Darstellung zur gesellschaftspolitischen Bedeutung des Sports in der greichisch-römischen Antike sind es vor allem Werke der Prosa 4 und im Besonderen Schriften von Annalisten und Biografen, die unser Bild prägen. Herausragende Bedeutung -in Verbindung mit der Epinikien 5 -hat für uns die Epigrafik 6 . Neben ihrem Beitrag zur Prosopographie 7 des antiken Sports sind es vor allem ihre detailreichen Informationen zu den Leistungen und Erfolgen der anitken Wettkampf-und Spitzensportler. 8Anschauliche Zeugnisse über die so zahlreich über den ganzen Mittelmeerraum verstreut gelegenen Übungs-und Wettkampfstätten liefern uns archäologische Ausgrabungsberichte. 9
