Euripides' interest in the psychology and social position of women is well known. Of the great Greek playwrights, he most directly reflects contemporary philosophical and social debates, and his work is of great value as a source for social history.

This book helps us to see how far the influence of these cloistered women extended into the sunlit world of men.
