AG from thelr prescnce fn n community. Polltical peril might throaten tho very existence of the Biate MC strangers, with strana traditions and foroian interesta,wore to take even the slightest part in the management of public affairs. And the gods might bo fearfully fneulted ant intict dreadful vengeance if any one of these stranger~ women were to find her way into the ecerct re- cosdes of ancestral worrhip and perform somo of the sacred functions wlich only the citizen- women could perform. The Spartans accord- ingly did not permit any strangers, malo or female, to reside in their city, ‘Theso atrangers ight coma to certain festivals fora fei days, but the period of thelr stay waa strictly Mmited. Athens pursued a differont policy. She wat a commercial city. Bhe was att! head, and. ultimately ruler, of no Inrme con- foderacy of Ureck States which sent their. taxes to her.” Besides, the clty iteclf was {nll of at- tractlons for the strangor, with its {anumerable works of art, ite brilliant dramatic exhibitions, its aplendit reiions processions, its gay festi- vals, its schoola of philosophy, and its keon political life, Athens could not exelude strangers, It liad, therefore, to tuke the tmost stringent precautions that 'thfs concourse’ of strangers SHOULD NOT CORRUPT THM FUNG CITIZEN- mLooD. Accordingly, laws were enacted which prohib- ited any citizen-man from marrying a strangers woman, or any stranger-man front marry! o citizen-woman, If the stranger-man or woman ventured on auch a helnous offense any one couid inform agatnst Lim or hor. The culprit was auized, all his or her property was confis- eated, and he or ale was sold into slavery, The citizen-man_ or woman Involved in such an offense had to auffer very sevore nenaltics, The etrangor-woman therefore could not marry. Marriago was the only sin that they could commits politically in the eye of an Athenis an statesnien, ‘They might do auything else that they liked. Noiv, it Is not conceivable that 4n such circumstances a numerous class of wom- @n would betake themactves to perpetual vir- givity, It any one had propounded such n sen- timent, the Greck mind would have recalled from: it as unnatural, and plataly contrary to the will of the gods. And accordingly these women might form any ofler connections with men, temporary or permanent, except marringo’ and the Greck ‘saw nothing inthis but the or- dinary outcome of human nature under the pe- caller circumstances of the case. Besides, in Athens o special sphere Iny open for them to fill, ‘The citizen-women were confined to their houses, and did not dine in company with tha meu, ‘But the men refused to Iinit-their nsso- ctations with women tothe house. They wished to have women with them in their. walks, in their banquets, fu their military expeditions, "The wives could not bo with them then, but toro was uoconstraint on the stranger-women, ‘The Greek men did not care whether the off- spring of stranger-women was pure or not. It mattered uot efther to the Stnte or to religion, ‘Thero wae no reason fur conlining them, “Add accordingly they aclected theay etranger-women as thelr companions; and “neraina," OR COMPANION, was the name by which the whole class was des- ignated. Thns arose a most tinnaturat diylsion of {unctlons among the women of those days, ‘The cltizen-women bad to be mothers and housowives,—nothing more; the stranger women had to discharge the duties of cumpan- fons, but remain outside the pale of the privi- Hged aud mnarrisgeable clasa. ‘These atranger- women apolied thelr minds to thelr fune- tion, with yariows ideas of ft, und ya- rloug methods, Many adopted the lowest possible means of galning the good will of men; ut many net about snake themselves flt cum- pantons for the most futetlectual and most cle- Yatcd among men. ‘They were tho only educated women In Athens. ‘They studicd all the arts, hecame av- auatntod with afl new philosophical specatn- tions, and interested themselyes in polities. ‘Women who thus cultivated their miuds were sure toguin the ‘esteem uf the best men in Greece. -Many of them also were women of high ioral character, temperate, thoultfal, and carnest; and wero either unuttuched or uty tached toune mau, und to all intents and pur- poses married. Even if they had two or three attachments, but behav: 1 other respects swith temperance und sobriety, such was the Grecik feeling in regard to theifpecullar position that, they did not bring down upon theimselyes an: consure froin cyeu the sternest of Cireck moral- fats. One of these women came to Athens when Sucratca was Hving; oud he had no scruple in conyersing with her op her art, and discussing how she could best procure truo friends. Aud, in fact, these were alinost the only Greck women who oxlibited what was best anid noblest in woman's nature, One of these, Diotina of. Mantinca, must have bean a ‘woman ot spl id mind-—for Sucrates speake of her aghistencuer In lgve, when hogives utters ii the “Symposium,” to the grandest thoughts do regard to the true nature and caxence ot die ‘vine and eternal beauty. almost every one of Uhe great men of Athens had such a companion; und these women seamed to have sympathized with them In thelr lilgh imaginatlous and pra- found meditations, Many o! tug were also coutrnaauualy true to their lovers, When the yergatile © Alciblades had to flee for bis Mfc, it was a companion’? that went with him, and, belng present ut hia end, performed the fineral-rites over him. Lut, of all theso women, there is one tnt itands promincutly forward ag the most remarkable woman of antiquity, ASPASIA OF MILETUS. We do not know what circumstance induecd her to leave her native city, Miletus. Plutarch su; Beste thatshe was inflamed hy the desire to fm- fate the conduct of Thargelia, auother Milesian, who gefued a position of high political fm- jor by usin her persuasive arta on the Greeks whotn she knew, to win them over to tue cause of the King of Persia. This may baye been the cuso, but a good deal that js said about Asvusia must be re- ceived with considerable skepticism.’ Like Rappho, she became the sulle of comedies but, unlike Sappho, she was bitterly attacked the comic pouts and others duc her Ufetlan Tho later Gruek writers were in the habit of thig down the Jeate of tha come writers as yeri- tabio history, aud modern commentators and his- toriang have nut been entirely free from this prac tice. Whataver orought ler to Athens, certatn(t {s that she found her way there, and became av- quainted with the great statesingn Pericles, She aude complete conquost of him. fie was atthe tine married, Lut there was incompatibility of temper between bim ond his wife, Pericles Therefore made on agrecment with his wita to hava divorce and get ber married to another; undo they acparnted, to the satisfaction of both, He then took Aspasin as his companion; and there fs vo good reason for supposing that they were not entirely faitts{l to cach other, wd Hyed a6 busboud and wife citl death separated them, Of course, husband and wife they could nat be according to Atheulan law; but Pericles treifted her with all tho respect and affection which wero due to a wife, Plutarch tolls us, a4 un extraur- dinary trait in the habits of a statesman who was remarkab,o for Lipereurbabalisy nnd salf-con- trol, that he regularly Kissed Asparia when ue went out und came in, Her house became the RESORT OF ALL TUD GREAT MEN OF ATIENA, Socrates was often there; Phidias and Avaxn- fern mers intimate acquaintances; and proba- ly Sophocles aud Euripides were fm constant attendance. Iudevd, never find any woman such a salon inthe whole history of man, ‘The greatest eculptor that ever lived, the grandest man of alt antiquity, philovopbers and poets, sculptora and paluters, stuteamen and hlatori- aus, mel cach other ail discussed congeutal subjects iu ber rooms, And probably hence las arisen the tradition that she was the teacher of Bocrates in philosophy and politics, nnd of Pericles in rhefork, Tor iniucnce was such as to stimulate men to du their Dest, and they attributed to ber all that wus best in themsclyes. Aspasia seems vspectally tobave thought earnestly on the duties and deatiay of women. ‘The enitivated men who througed hor assemblles had no hesitatlon ia breaking through the conyentionulitics of Atheutan society, and brought thelr wives wo the parties of Aspasia; and she discussed with trem the duties of wiv Bhe thought jut they should strive to bo something jure thon were mothers und housewives, Sho urged them to cultivate thelr minds, und be inal respects fit companions for thelr usbanuis, Unfortunately, we know very litile more, Did she come to any definite concluslon as to the iupetfous of women?

They yearned to have the benefit of the more enthu- slastle worships which camo from Asia Minors and accordingly, if Aspasin hed been inclined to lend them that way, she would, 10 doubt, have had many, eager followers. Or, finally, and most probably, she may hayé been supposed to share the oplutons of the philuse- phers with who she was on such intimate tering, and to have alded and abetted thejr op- position to the national creel. What were the grounds of the chorcu we do not know. All we Know Is, that she was acquitted, but that she owed her ucquittal to the carneat pleading of Pericles, who, on this one ovecasion, necom- panied his entreatics with tears. ‘There can be no doubt that Aspasia exercised A POWERFUL POLITICAL INPLUENCR during her residence in Athens, This fact fs Asstired to us by the abuge which sho received from the cone pucts. They called ber Hera, Queen of the Gods, wife of Olympian Zeus, a8 they named Poricies. They also called her Defuntra, wife uf Hercules, and the new Omphale, whom Hercules slavishly served, —all pointing at the power which she “had over Pericles, Arfstophuncs, in bis “ Acharnians,!? asserts that Puricles brought about the Lclo- peunesian war to tuke vengeance fur au fosult offered to Aspasia; nud others aflirmed that the Sanvian warwas undertaken entirely to gratity ber. These aro absurd statements ou the {nee of them, and wero arabs nevel micaut to be anything else than jokes; but they render unguestlonablo the profound datlionce of Aspaalu. Lt is probable that this influence was exercigea fu an ofiurt to breuk down the barrlurs that kept the Greok City-States from ench other, to create a strong Hellonle feeling, to make n compact Hotlenie confederacy, But, whatever werg te uimy of — Ler politica, {ft may be sately asserted that no womon ever exercised dnflucnee by moro legitimate ineans. It was her sgouduess, her nublu alms, her cleay tusight, that gave her tw power TT ‘ras probably no adventitious cirenm- stance to ald hi It i, not Ilkely that she was beautiful. ‘The comic poets said that he was Uttle, and hada dark complexion, Littieness was incompatible with beauty in the cye of a Crvek, wid w dark complexion would nso bu against ler. But all that wetenan gather about Banpho's form leads to the conclusion that the come poets traduced her in this as {nother matters. Vinto calls hee beautiful,—an ex- pression whieh most haye wtorefer to her noet{e genius, but this interpretation ts at least doubtful. A’ vase of the Fifth Century B, C., found in Girgents, gives us representations of Aloeus and Sappho; and on these "Sappho ts taller than Alewus, ait excet beautiful, We havo ulso ok port of Sappho on the colng of the Mityle- nang} and here again the face fs exquisite in feature, and stusgesty a tall woman.

Ibever thers was a caso which micht hi sugested to the Athenints the proprlely of ex- tending the suhere of nurrlazeabitity, surely it was this ease of Aspasin, But wo cannot affirm that any one thought of this, ‘the Athentan women, even the eltizens, lad vo oolitical standing, ‘They wore always infiiors, subject to thelr fathers, or to thelr husbands, or to some tale.
