Eugesta, an online journal on gender studies in antiquity, has recently released its fourth issue for 2014. The increased attention accorded to concepts of sex and gender developed by work in gender studies has powerfully transformed research into the ancient Mediterranean past. Inquiries conducted into the relations among men, between men and women, among women, and on modes of constructing what qualifies as “feminine” and “masculine” have brought a new illumination to the distinctive ways that ancient societies and cultures functioned, an illumination also of major relevance for research on the reception of antiquity in western cultures. Here is a list of the articles published in the issue: "Collera, crisi politica e soggetti queer. Da Antigone a Dioniso" by Davide Susanetti "Femmes au vase sur la scène tragique: enjeux dramatiques et symboliques" by Anne-Sophie Noel"The Erotics of Manumussion: Prostitutes and the πρᾶσις ἐπ’ ἑλευθερία " by Allison Glazebrook"Material Girls: Humor and Female Professional Seduction in Greek Literature and Culture" by Anna Foka"Callimachus and Hippocratic Gynecology.
