1	Amazons of the Ancient World: Women in Greek and Roman Societies as Seen in the Amazon Myth. Woods, Holly Irene 08 May 2010 (has links) (PDF) The myth of the Amazons began in Ancient Greece. Renditions of the myth were found in art and literature of the Greeks and Romans in the ancient world. The image of the Amazons changed with the culture and ideology that discussed them. The Amazon myth reflected Greek and Roman views of women. Through looking closely at the three stages of the myth of the Amazons one can determine the myth strengthens the image of women that was held by men of the ancient world. The Amazons were connected with the heroes Heracles, Theseus, and Alexander the Great. Individual Amazons such as Antiope, Penthesilea, and Camilla were also dominant in the mythology of the Amazons. By completing a literary analysis of the myths of the Amazons beginning in the eighth century B.C. and through the fourth century A.D. one is able to see what was expected and deemed acceptable of women. greek mythology roman women amazons greek women women in the ancient world Arts and Humanities Classics History Women's History
2	Hippocrates' Diseases Of Women Book 1 - Greek Text with English Translation and Footnotes Whiteley, Kathleen 28 February 2003 (has links) Diseases of Women, Book I, is part of the Hippocratic Corpus of approximately seventy treatises, although different authors contributed to the writings, as is evident by slight changes in text. It is the first of three works by Hippocrates on gynaecological problems. Fifth century BC doctors did not dissect either humans or animals, so their theories were based purely on observation and experience. Book I deals with women who have problems with menstruation, either the lack of it or an excess, infertility and, when conception does take place, the threat of miscarriage and dealing with the stillborn child. Various remedies are given, including herbal infusions, vapour baths and mixtures that the modern day patient would shudder at, e.g. animal dung and headless, wingless beetles. One remedy, hypericum, or St John's Wort, used for depression, has become popular today as an alternative medicine. / Old Testament and Ancient Near Eastern Studies / M.A. (with specialisation in Ancient Languages and Cultures) Ancient Greek medicine Hippocrates Hippocratic Corpus Diseases of Women in the Ancient World Diseases of Women in Ancient Greece Infertility in the Ancient World Herbal remedies of the Ancient World 884 (HIPPO) M901 Hippocrates Women -- Health and hygiene -- Greece Women -- Diseases -- Greece Gynecology -- Greek influences Gynecology -- Greece -- History Obstetrics -- Greece -- History
