My mother doesn't understand. Not that I expected she would. When I told her the news, all she said was "Ah, the face that
launched a thousand ships." She didn't even look up from her book. Later, at dinner, she apologized for quoting Marlowe. Marlowe
is our cat.
At bedtime I told my mother, "You should have seen the way Helen acted at school. It was disgusting, flirting with the boys."
Mom tucked the sheets up close around my chin, so that only my head was showing, my body covered mummy style. "Vita,"
she said, "it sounds like she's perfect for the part."
Read the excerpt above. Why does Vita's mother say that Helen is perfect for the role of Helen of Troy?

Explanation:

d) all choices are correct

the exact role and status of women in the roman world, and indeed in most ancient societies, has often been obscured by the biases of both ancient male writers and 19-20th century ce male scholars, a situation only relatively recently redressed by modern scholarship which has sought to more objectively assess women's status, rights, duties, representation in the arts, and daily lives; and all this from almost exclusively male source material dealing with a male-dominated roman world.

women in mythology

unlike some other ancient cultures such as the greeks who had formed a creation myth where woman was a creature secondary to man and, more specifically, in the form of pandora, a bringer of unhappiness and vices, the romans had a more neutral approach where humanity, and not specifically the male, was created by the gods from earth and water. ovid's metamorphoses, for example, does not specify whether the first human was a man or a woman. at least in a physical sense then men and women were not regarded as belonging to a different species as in the greek world, a view often reiterated in roman medical treatises.
