The Politics and Ethics of Abortion in Ancient Greece - GreekReporter.com The issue of abortion in Ancient Greece was rather complex, as it intersected with law, ethics, medicine, social ideology, and family.

The ancient Greek understanding of abortion cannot be seen through the lens of individual autonomy. Reproductive decision-making was embedded within the patriarchal hierarchy and regulated by norms designed to safeguard male economic and social interests.

This thymiaterion has five individually hand-made women sitting on the edge of a red-painted wellhead, with one sitting in her own high-baked chair. All are brightly painted, and each woman has a 'hat' with a cup on top for the burning of the incense. All painted slightly differently - three with orange-yellow tunics, two with red tunics; two red himatia (cloaks), two purple-black himatia, and one yellow himation. They each once carried an attribute in each hand, but several are missing. In this photo, one woman carries a yellow (meant to be gold) phiale, an offering plate, and a pomegranate; the other woman facing us carries a spindle with wool. Met Museum (2012.546)

One of the best examples of ancient #polychromy that I know of is this terracotta thymiaterion - incense burner - in the form of a group of colorfully dressed women sitting around a wellhead. The iconography reflects a local cult, perhaps of Demeter and Kore. 🏺 1/
