They are NOT the secret language of history.

Primary and Secondary Sources

Inferences from Aristotle’s Oikonomikos– “A good wife should be the mistress of her home,

having under her care all that is within it, according to the rules we have laid down. She should allow none to enter without her husband's knowledge, dreading above all things the gossip of gadding women, which tends to poison the soul. …”

Secondary Sources

“Almost everything that we know about Greek women is derived ultimately from a masculine source – from the things which men said about women, from the images of women which they created in literature and art, and from the informal rules and legal regulations they constructed in order to deal with women.”

“This narrative is particularly important because religious office is presented as the one arena in which Greek women assumed roles equal and comparable to those of men.”
