Description

Warriors' Wives: Ancient Greek Myth and Modern Experience by Emma Bridges explores the lives of women married to soldiers, both in ancient Greece and today. Drawing on epic poetry and tragic drama, as well as contemporary evidence, Bridges examines the emotional, psychological, and social impacts of life as a military spouse. The book sheds light on the experiences of these often-silenced partners, tracing their stories from farewell to reunion, separation, and the aftermath of war. By comparing ancient myths with modern realities, Bridges uncovers new insights into the lives of those who serve in the military and their loved ones. This open access title is available at Oxford Scholarship Online and as a free PDF download from OUP, offering a unique perspective on the complex relationships between soldiers, their families, and society.
