Greek Attitude Towards Women

 The stature of Women In Greek Mythology 

The Greeks believed that women were the most beautiful beings to ever exist, but they were chained by the men around them. According to Women in ancient Greece, unlike male citizens, women had few rights in ancient Greek. Their life's purpose was to have and look after children.  In ancient Grece, women were cast as troublemakers from the jealous goddess Hera to Aphrodite using her charms to make men fall to their knees for her. Women did not hold a high social value as they were working at shops and as prostitutes and courtesans. This misogyny towards women regarded their value to society in front of men and was made really clear that women will always be inferior to men.  Zeus was always seen as someone who used women only for sexual desires. A famous myth about Zeus was that he had 54 children with numerous different women.
