A post shared by Max Dashu (@maxdashu) Videos on Women in Greek Mythography: From primordial goddesses to sexual politics and the origins of rape culture. This short clip talks about the womb-vulva offering platters, circa 2300 bce, and ancient Aegean influences on Greece. See more videos on my substack post: https://oldwitch.substack.com/p/videos-on-women-in-greek-mythography I cover several themes in my book Women in Greek Mythography: Pythias, Melissae and Titanides. I’m looking at women in ancient Greece, especially in the Archaic period, at themes of conquest, captivity, and female slavery, the origins of rape culture, and how male domination was encoded into myth, custom, and even ceremony.
