The ancient world for women is much different than our modern-day society. Women in ancient Greece and Rome had it much worse than we do for many reasons. Their fathers chose who they married and they usually had to marry someone twenty years older than them at the age of 14. And that was their purpose, if they didn’t marry someone successful, they were seen as a disgrace to their family. Women also had strict roles in society, those in which did not involve any sort of education. A rich mother would oversee all the servants and plan parties at their house. A poor mother stated at home and did chores with her children (if her children even survive pass age 1). Women were seen as inferior to men and were allowed no important roles in government.

It taught people how to live a good life, but not what to believe.
