Course Description
In the fourth-century BCE law-court speech Against Neaira, a freed-slave prostitute named Neaira is charged with posing as an Athenian citizen in order to secure citizen rights for her children. In this class, students will read Against Neaira in Greek and explore the intersections of gender, sexuality, immigration, social status, and citizenship in classical Athens.
