The Greek woman of Antiquity does not have the same condition depending on whether she lives in Athens, or Sparta, the rival city.
If the two cities are close by distance, they are clearly distinguished by manners.
While Athens embodies a certain political ideal in the ancient landscape, Sparta represents the ideal warrior.
No other city has cultivated the vocation of its inhabitants to war like it.
Thus, no distinction is made between men and women.
From the age of seven, young Spartan girls are sent to the gymnasium, just like the boys.
They practice discus and javelin throwing and stadium activities.
Meet these ancient women like no other.
