Gender inequality has been a topic of debate for numerous cultures throughout history. Women were commonly regarded as the subservient gender, a view that was generally no different in Ancient Greece. Throughout Greek mythology, women are considered negative and troublesome symbols, while men were better known for strength and leadership skills. While there is no arguing the blatant sexism that is apparent in Greek mythology, it can also be asserted that women were given an elevated position of both power and necessity as well. Many popular Greek plays contain several well-written, complex, female characters. These women took upon themselves, the role of villain, victim, and even the role of heroine, showing the diversity of lights in which women were seen in both mythology and Ancient Greek society. Thus begging the question “Were women fairly represented as powerful in ancient Greek mythology?” Due to their consequential role in the creation of the Greek mythological universe, the creation of multi-gendered deities, and the well-versed and powerful personalities attributed to women in Ancient Greek mythology the answer to this question is yes, women were fairly represented as powerful in Ancient Greek mythology.
