Abstract: »Alastair Blanshard (Chapter 9) brings sex and sexual violence back into the Peloponnesian War, revealing both the violence recorded by other historians in other wars and the violence against women in the context of war that was played out on the Athenian stage during these years. Whatever the incidence of actual violence against women during the war, for a woman the stresses of living through a prolonged period of warfare were quite different from the stresses of peacetime life.« (Source: Gartland, Samuel, and Robin Osborne. »Introduction: Rewriting the Peloponnesian War.« Reassessing the Peloponnesian War.
