Abstract

In the world of Ancient Greece, fabric and weaving are inextrincably linked to the existence of women and take on the quality of symbolic reference. In the literature, the loom represents a kind of barrier between the Gynaeceum and the outside world, the fabric constituting a parallel language on the subject of femininity.
