Loraux, Nicole: The Children of Athena

Athenian Ideas about Citizenship and the Division Between the Sexes. Translated by Caroline Levine. Foreword by Froma I. Zeitlin. According to one myth, the first Athenian citizen was born from the earth after the sperm of a rejected lover, the god Hephaistos, dripped off the virgin goddess Athena's leg and onto fertile soil. In the essays Nicole Loraux examines the implication of this and other Greek origin myths as she explores how Athenians in the fifth century forged and maintained a collective identity.
