Woman in Ancient Greece

1) Sparta would be better to live in rather than Athens. The reason for this opinion is because in Sparta you have alittle more freedom. I think that it was hard on the woman and easy for the men. In Athens the women can't even go outside their house to go visit other women, that to me is very mean and harsh. Just imagine being in your house all day everyday and just clean adn do whatever you need to do. I could not be able to live in Athens at all. In Sparta you had more freedom, for example the women were able to own land. The land doesn't have to be their husbands or anything so i liked that. Another good thing about Sparta is that you could go outside adn visit other people, you wouldn't have to stay inside your house the whole time. The main thing that women were known for was giving birth. That is basically what they did in Sparta and Athnes.

2) What I think towards the men and women being equal are that they weren't back then but i think that they should have been. The reason that the men were concidered higher than the women was because they have always been seen as the stronger sex or the bravest. I don't believe that at all. I also do not believe were equa, i think that the women are higher because if you really think about it the women go through everything. We go through pregnancy, periods, and lots more. I bet you if a men were to have babies they wouldn't make it through. Men have never experienced that kind of pain. Also i believe that women are wiser than men and the only reason i believe this is because we have never had a girl president or something like that and most people believe that we are not able to accomplish that and i totally think that is wrong. That is my opinion in men and women being equal.

3) Well the way i see it is that painters would paint women how they are. And the way that they were back then was just being home taking care of their children, probably being pregnate and cleaning the house. The way that painters would paint men would be how they are, wich is strong, brave and better than the woman.
