Few women's voices have survived from the antiquity period, but evidence shows that, especially in the area of religion, women were influential in Greek culture.



Few women's voices have survived from the antiquity period, but evidence shows that, especially in the area of religion, women were influential in Greek culture. Drawing on Socrates' Symposium , Nye advances this notion by not only exploring the original religious meaning of Diotima's teaching but also how that meaning has been lost throughout time.
