Boedeker, Deborah. Review: Medea. Cambridge University Press. 2004. 8 Apr. 2011. Web. This
source is a review of the play that I am doing my paper over. This will help me break the
play down and cover its main ideas easier. Along with finding the article in J Stor the
author being credible relies me that this is a good source. I will use the source to give a
brief over view of the story.
Dickey, Eleanor. The Ancient Greek Address System and Some Proposed Sociolinguistic
Universals. Cambridge University Press. 1997. 8 Apr. 2011. Web. This source covers
Ancient Greek social standings. This shows the reader how women we held in their
society. The source was published by Cambridge University. Also it was composed
intelligently and with none or few grammatical errors. This will allow me to show the
historical side of where women stood socially.
Euripides. “Medea”. The Norton Anthology of World Literature. Peter Simon. Second Edition.
Volume One. New York: W. W. Norton & Company, 2009. Print. “Medea” was the play
we read in class, and what I am using to construct my paper. I am comparing how
Euripides portrays Greek women to how they truly are. Euripides was a famous Greek
play write and “Medea” was one of his more famous plays.
Friedl, Ernestine. The Position of Women: Appearance and Reality. The George Washington
University Institute for Ethnographic Research. 1967. 8 Apr. 2011. Web. This source
shows women’s position in Greek culture. It shows their chores and what they are
required to do on a day to day basis. This is a scholarly source and is well written. I will
also use this source to compare “Medea” to the actual Greek culture.
Lefkowitz, Mary. Women in Greek Myth. Second Edition. Baltimore: The Johns Hopkins
University Press. 2007. Print. This article shows women’s position in ancient Greek
myths. Leffkowitz shows different myths and how women are portrayed in all of them. I
will use this to compare Euripides to other Greek writers and show how they all portray
women.
Middleton, Haydin. Ancient Greek Women. Chicago: Reed Educational & Professional
Publishing, 2003. Print. People In The Past. Web. Also this shows women in this culture
and how they live their day to day lives. It was written well and by a credible author. This
also shows where women stood socially in Greek culture.
Ridgeway, Brunilde. Ancient Greek Women and Art: The Material Evidence. Archaeological
Institute of America. 1987. 8 Apr. 2011. Web. This shows that women are not just
servants and somewhat slaves of their husbands. Although at the same time they don’t
have many rights and this tends to be a chore. This was published by the Archeological
Institute of America and is a scholarly source. This will allow me to show another side to
women in Greek culture.
Williamson, Margaret. “A Woman’s Place in Euripides’ Medea”. Euripides, Women, and
Sexuality. Anton Powell Ed. New York: Routledge, 1990. 16-24. Print. This also shows
how women are viewed in “Medea”. We see how they have few rightsand are held at a
lower level than men. Williamson is a credible author and gives a well written view of
this topic. I’ll use this to show how the story portrays Greek women.
