When Men Were Men employs a variety of critical approaches and methodologies and focuses on a broad range of source materials, periods and places to offer an innovative and challenging study of male dominance in the classical world.

When Men Were Men questions the deep-set assumption that men's history speaks and has always spoken for all of us, by exploring the history of classical antiquity as an explicitly masculine story. With a preface by Sarah Pomeroy, this study employs different methodologies and focuses on a broad range of source materials, periods and places.
