Data confidence 70 medium
How this score is calculated

It is built from checkable properties of the record itself: whether the article has a DOI, how many independent sources confirmed its data, whether the required fields are filled in, and how recent the latest confirmation is. Disagreement between sources and a missing identifier lower it. A value of 80 or above means the record was published without further checking; 60 to 79 means it is published at reduced confidence, with a manual check advisable. A record verified by an editor by hand is never pushed below 90 by a recalculation. This scores our data about the article, not the article itself.

Abstract

This paper examines the status, position and roles of women in ancient Greece.Based on available historical sources, it can be clearly established that women in ancient Greece had an inferior position to men.They were primarily viewed as "species-extending beings".In none of the Greek city-states did women have political rights and were not considered as citizens.The status of women in ancient Greece, in terms of role, position, opportunity etc., varied from one city-state to another.This status is well known for ancient Athens, based on the large number of historical sources that can document the basic characteristics of the status of women in ancient Athens.
