An illuminating and thought-provoking read. * Classics for All * The editors have put together a collection of the highest academic standard ... A valuable overview of the history of scholarship on women in antiquity to both experts and newcomers to the field alike. It is a project admirable in both its ambition and execution, and one whose flexible and open-ended approach to different modes of reception deserves to set a precedent for future editions on reception studies. * The Classical Review * In a world where the terms Western and Eastern are politically charged, this book could not be more timely. By examining the construction of Orientalism in the ancient world and how the past has been used to reinforce modern prejudices, it lays bare the motivations that underpin such thinking. -- Art Pomeroy, Professor of Classics, Victoria University of Wellington, New Zealand Orient/Other: what a dangerous, and yet fascinating mix! A unique gallery of powerful and intriguing figures embodying Orient, and Other, across time and space, from ancient to modern medias (such as games, comics, fanfiction) in a new, fresh perspective. A must-have for everyone interested in Orientalism and gender studies. -- Martina Treu, Researcher in Greek Literature and Drama, IULM University, Italy
