Abstract (EN)

Throughout history, women have always been an important being with the various roles they play on the earth, and the perception of the mind of this figure has changed in time and place. This change was also different according to various cultures and civilizations. In this respect, it is worth examining in this sense the way that the Greek age, which has an important place in writing life, handles the female subject and the "female image" of the written works in a period when the works are intensively started to be given from various genres. In the context of the position of the woman in the Greek world, there are no works written apart, except for a few excerpts directly related to the women and "woman image". Among these works are authors such as Aescuylus, Sophocles, Euripides, Aristophanes, Menandros who contributed to the writing of history and produced important theater texts in comedy and tragedy types besides authors such as Herodotos and Thukydides. In the Greek world there are not many writers and species diversity that deal with women's issues in various ways. İndeed written works may exist before the writers who inspired their writer, philosopher and social scientist successors, too. However, they were usually written on tablets and mostly their writers are not known or majority of them did not survive to the present day. It is also important to think about the "female image" as the writers of the Greek age, located in a very important place in terms of literary history, are in different topics. In the Hellenic era, women's social, legal and economic situations and their position in life are now being explored in various researches. This research is based on based on the idea of reflecting the"women image in the minds of entellectuals", which is thought to be more in line with the society and even in the society as an idea. This study deals with the idea that how the authors view women, considering various social studies such as modern philosophy, sociology and psychology. This study will focuses on how the Greek writers who dealt with the "female image" they created in their own writing worlds in terms of utopia, sometimes idealistic viewpoints, how these views are met during their own times and how the historiographical tradition affects the present-day writing world.
