Abstract

Archaeologist Susan Langdon of the University of Missouri has examined 265 small figurines found in the Greek city of Corinth to gain insight into the lives of ancient Corinthian girls. These figurines, often mistaken for dolls or toys, were likely votive offerings to the goddesses Demeter and Kore. Langdon believes that they may have been used in coming-of-age rituals and were made with the involvement of women and children. These figurines provide valuable information about the social roles of women and girls in ancient Corinth. [Extracted from the article]
