Descripción:Studies on women in ancient societies lack a thorough research on the slave girls that were used for playing music and dancing in banquets. We shall try to offer as far as possible a picture of these girls according to what Xenophon depicts in his Symposium, and elaborate a cross research in order to see if it may be possible to build a dancing methodology from the iconography and textual information from a contemporary point of view. Young acrobat slave girls will also be treated, even though there is no bibliography on them. This work joins in a multidisciplinary way philological, iconographic and artistic matters.
