Violent crimes committed against women and perpetrated by women are at the heart of this study. The authors draw on their previous research experience in this field to examine the portrayal of violence across a range of sources to develop a picture of gender and crime in ancient Greek law, literature, myth and society. "Gendered Violence in Ancient Greece"breaks new ground in the study of violence in ancient Greece by adopting an evolutionary biological approach to the subject in particular through an examination of the applicability to classical scholarship of the research of Daly and Wilson which moots that sexual jealousy is at the root of the majority of violent acts including murder. The work explores the critiques over recent decades to the universalist premises that grew out of second wave feminism by providing a methodological approach that combines 'grand' theory with an exploration of cultural contexts and historical development.
