OverviewThis history of classical antiquity is a history of men, though it is never studied that way. We have been taught to see it as the history of western civilisation, not simply as a history, one of the many strands of a broader past which makes us what we are today. This volume questions the deep-set assumption that men's history speaks and has always spoken for all of us, by exploring the story of classical antiquity as an explicitly masculine story. When Men Were Men, prefaced by Sarah Pomeroy, employs a variety of critical approaches and methodologies and focuses on a broad range of source materials, periods and places to offer an innovative and challenging study of masculine dominance in the classical world. 1.
