I recently copied this message off the visual resources list (vra-l), and posted it to two archaeology lists. Judging by the response that I got, there are probably a lot of people out there who are interested in having this video, or having their library purchase it. One addendum, however -- one response told me that this is NOT the _first ancient art exhibition in the world to center around women_ -- that distinction apparently goes to an exhibition from Turkey. Nevertheless, here is the posting as I found it: >>I recently viewed a video which might be of interest to you. It's called "Pandora's Box: The Roles of Women in Ancient Greece" a video lecture by Dr. Ellen Reeder, Curator of Ancient Art at the Walter's Art Gallery, Baltimore. The video features 138 works of art from the 5th century and serves as an overview of the first ancient art exhibition in the world to center around women. The exhibit was in Baltimore, is now at the Dallas Museum of Art, and will travel to the Antikenmuseum, Basel. Organized into 4 sections, the first begins with the concept of the ideal woman in Greek society, including the proper body language, facial expression, and general deportment. The second section concentrates on a key metaphor for women in ancient Greece: the woman as vessel. The third section examines the metaphor of woman as a wild animal needing to be tamed. The last section focuses on various myths that dramatize the anxiety and apprehension of the Greeks regarding the taming of women. The video is of obvious interest to art historians, classicists, women's studies departments, anthropologists and sociologists. The video was produced by the Institute for Mediterranean Studies in cooperation with the Walter's Art Gallery. The price is a modest $19.95 plus s & h ($3.00), and is available from: The Institute of Mediterranean Studies 7086 East Aracoma Drive Cincinnati, OH 45237 fax: (513) 631-1715<< ** cross-posting to anahita, classics, talaros, ancien-l, museum-l; previously posted to aia-l and greekarch. ** Regards, Regan Barr
