 Abstract: 
				»Harris’s essay (Chapter 17) is also highly relevant to discussions of rape, since it critiques notions that women’s consent was unimportant to men in ancient Greece. As Harris demonstrates, evidence from Athenian Introduction literature reveals that men did in fact pay attention to when women said “yes” and “no.”«
