I loved reading this for class!
Looking at it from a modern point of view it's strange how differently we would perceive it in comparison to the ancient greek audience. I really enjoy the incite it gave to how women were expected to act in the ancient world, as well as the present Xenophobia and elitism felt by the greeks to non greek speakers.
