Aristotle And Galen's Treatment Of Women In Ancient Greek Society
Women in Ancient Greek Society
Aristotle and Galen had different approaches on women in. Both of them wrote about women and how it shoes a lot about how they were treated during those times. Aristotle talks about the things a good wife should do, while Galen talks about the usefulness of the body parts of a male versus’ that of a female. Aristotle’s way of describing it is very easy to understand, and I believe to be somewhat still true today. But Galen on the other hand starts out by saying that the women is “less perfect” because of her body parts, which then he describes as a “great advantage.” Although their very different they show us how in those times women were looked upon and how they differed from the men in the ancient Greek society.
