Patriarchy has been dominating the history of gender relations for thousands of years by skillfully transforming its patterns and finding its support in customs, religion and laws. Despite modern efforts, patriarchy not only persisted, but today we are faced with a powerful wave of repatriarchalisation. In order to gain better understanding of the reasons behind the stuborn endurance of patriarchal patterns and learn how to deconstruct them, it is necessary to research their roots in the distant past and try to determine what contributed to their creation and survival. This paper will focus on the Ancient Greek world – in particular ancient Athens. Known as the cradle of democracy, theatre and humanities, Athens showed its dark side through its treatment of women. They were completely erased from the public life, denied education and confined as housewives and child bearers within the walls of their homes. Men on the other hand were heavily oriented towards the public sphere and gaining knowledge and political skills, which created a huge educational and cultural gap between husbands and wives and led to the distancing of the former from the latter. On the other side of the spectrum, there were prostitutes and concubines of various classes: pornai, pallake and the sophisticated hetairai, all of them always at the disposal of men. The only women in the Athenian society that could achieve any semblance of respect and admiration from men were the hetairai, but it came at a steep cost.
