Document Summary
A kaloskagathos spends his time outdoors, living a virtuous and vigorous life. He could not spend all his time outdoors, however, were his wife not just taking care of the household. Thing thing that enables the man to do kaloskagathos activities is that he has a woman in his house, managing things. 9. 5: women"s quarters should be separated from the mens quarters, even the women slaves separated from male slaves. The proper, upright, noble woman stayed in the women"s quarters of the house. Lysias the lawer says, of his evil vicious opponent: he even broke into my house, where he saw my sister and my nieces, who had never been seen by a man before. They would go out for religious festivals; it was their chance to be out and in public, but the thought was they would see men and cheat on their husbands.
