Women

Women in the Greek myths are often portrayed as dumb, jealous, selfish and beautiful.


The Greek myths were written by men who loved women, which shows us the reason why most of the ladies in the myths are very beautiful.


Many women are the cause of their husbands misfortune or even humanities misfortune. For example: Pandora opens the box that holds all of the bad things about humanity.


Women are known for being jealous of one another and trying to murder the person that they are jealous of.


Women are not very popular in the Greek myths, unless it is to charm a man or turn them into some evil creature. The main role that women have is to bear children and be beautiful.


This last role of women in myths was common for women's daily lives in ancient Greece.


Women only cooked,cleaned and made themselves beautiful.It is remarkable that only a few women in the Greek myths are courageous, strong or hold a big part in the stories.
