This volume offers new insights into ancient figurations of
temporality by focusing on the relationship between gender and time
across a range of genres. Each chapter in this collection places
gender at the center of its exploration of time, and the volume
includes time in treatises, genealogical lists, calendars,
prophetic literature, ritual practice and historical and poetic
narratives from the Greco-Roman world. Many of the chapters begin
with female characters, but all of them emphasize how and why time
is an integral component of ancient categories of female and male.
Relying on theorists who offer ways to explore the connections
between time and gender encoded in narrative tropes, plots,
pronouns, images or metaphors, the contributors tease out how time
and gender were intertwined in the symbolic register of Greek and
Roman thought. Narratives of Time and Gender in Antiquity provides
a rich and provocative theoretical analysis of time-and its
relationship to gender-in ancient texts. It will be of interest to
anyone working on time in the ancient world, or students of gender
in antiquity.
