Abstract

The current article came from our master's degree research on women and their representations and voices in the Athenian courts of the fourth century BC. The women's theme as generally oppressed and recluse to the private space has been increasingly studied and refuted, bringing new tendencies of the sources, especially those that allow studies within the imaginary, the habits and the daily life of the inhabitants of Athens. Therefore, starting from the gender historiography point of view - in the social relations between men and women - we pursue through discourses delivered in court a feminine universe beyond the propagation of ideals. For this we use three discourses as sources, having women in different social positions: courtesans, slaves, freedwomen and wives.
