Did homes in ancient Greece have kitchens and bathrooms? If so, why
have archaeologists had such troubles finding their remains? What
did the concepts of "home "and "house" mean to the ancient Greeks?
This book offers an illuminating reappraisal of domestic space in
classical Greece. Beginning with the premise that we must cease to
view the classical Greek house through the lens of contemporary
Western notions, Janett Morgan provides a fresh evaluation of what
home meant to different communities in the ancient Greek world. By
employing textual analysis alongside archaeological scholarship,
"The Classical Greek House" seeks to explain some of the
contradictions that previous approaches have left unresolved. Of
value to students and academics alike, Morgan's work offers an
exciting new perspective on relations between men and women, public
and private, and between home and city in the ancient world.
