Celebrating the Role of Women in Ancient Greece

A new show has been opened in New York showing the role that women played in Ancient Greece. The 155 pieces from Ancient Athens show how the women of today are much like the women of Ancient Greece. They would go to the temple of Dionysis and celebrated in their righted ritual in which they could get away from the strife of home and talk it over with other women. The men didn't like this so they gave it a bad name saying that it was always just one giant orgi. The pottery even shows that the non important women even played a part in society.
