For my final paper, I have chosen the theme of ancient Greek literature. I will be looking at how the role of women changed through some of these stories. Some of the stories that I will use will be The Iliad, and The Odyssey. I will also reference Sappho as a comparison to an actual societal examples that could have possibly been influenced from these roles. My thesis will focus on why these specific women were chosen, what messages it sent to the reader, and how it might have influenced future themes of defiance in society.
