Document Summary

Pride in citizenship participation in the ecclesia - socially speaking it was a bad move to not participate in this. Encouraged free expression; very few taboos in society, encouraged public discourse. Goddess worship, but doesn"t mean they were feminist or progressive at all. Represent forces of nature, human actions, natural processes (goddess of war, of love, god of wine making) Religion is tied to civic responsibility and obligation. Every person has a role to play at some point and participating in some way. Legitimate, adult males (your gender and age is very much a part of your behavior and roles in society) Never actually considered as citizens only legitimate male adults who had served in the military. Women were not allowed to leave the house unless attended with a male relatives. Unlike the men the women didn"t play a role. Believed women weren"t to be trusted supposedly always trying to trick men.
