ASPASIA DE MILETO, más que la esposa de Pericles - Antigua Grecia
❔ ¿Quién fue Aspasia de Mileto? ❓ ¿Cómo vivían las mujeres atenienses y por qué Aspasia se diferenciaba de ellas? Aspasia de Mileto vivió en el siglo V a. C, la etapa dorada de la Antigua Grecia. Fue maestra de retórica y tuvo contactos con las personalidades más influyentes de su tiempo. Sin embargo, hoy se la conoce porque fue esposa de Pericles, el famoso líder de la polis ateniense. Aspasia pertenecía a un grupo de mujeres libres, y llevaba un tipo de vida diferente al de las esposas atenienses. Precisamente por esto fue admirada por los filósofos de su época, pero también fue muy criticada por ellos en sus obras, y por los sectores más conservadores de la sociedad ateniense. ¡Espero que os guste! #aspasiademileto #Atenas #antiguagrecia Contacto: Instagram: @lunaalijarcio luna.visitasguiadas@gmail.com Música del vídeo: Trio for Piano, Cello, and Clarinet by Kevin MacLeod Link: https://incompetech.filmmusic.io/song/4547-trio-for-piano-cello-and-clarinet License: https://filmmusic.io/standard-license Clear Waters by Kevin MacLeod Link: https://incompetech.filmmusic.io/song/3516-clear-waters License: https://filmmusic.io/standard-license
