Envy, Poison, and Death - Eidinow, Esther (Professor in Ancient History, Professor in Ancient History, University of Bristol)

This volume explores three trials conducted in Athens in the fourth century BCE; the defendants were all women charged with undertaking ritual activities, but much of the evidence remains a mystery. The author reveals how these trials provide a vivid glimpse of the socio-political environment of Athens during the early-mid fourth century BCE.
