What was the role of women in ancient Greece?

What will be an ideal response?


While they were formally educated, girls in ancient Greece did not participate equally in social and political life. Their main duties were centered on the household and children. Women were believed to have poorer self-control than men, and because of that, married women were closely guarded and often limited to household, without many new experiences or much socializing. Marriages were not the product of love, and married life was mostly focused on reproduction.
Prostitution was widely accepted in ancient Greece, and there were five different types of prostitutes: female slaves, ordinary prostitutes (pornai), independent prostitutes, sacral prostitutes (hierodules), and the elite class of prostitutes (heterae). Heterae were very educated and allowed to participate in the symposia of men; they participated in conversations with men, with the freedom to express their own opinions.
