Résumé
Drawing upon an extensive bibliography concerning the role of women in Western culture, this article aims to deconstruct the common idea that male domination was always peacefully and universally accepted. Thus, it calls attention to the fact that in Greece (where our tradition conceptually originated), parallel to the established canon of thought, there were significant disruptions revealing other ways of conceiving and representing the feminine, thereby demonstrating the need to re-signify our reception of the classical tradition.
