Slaves and Other Objects

Page duBois is professor of classics and comparative literature at the University of California, San Diego. She is the author of six previous books, including, most recently Sappho Is Burning, published by the University of Chicago Press, and Trojan Horses: Saving the Classics from Conservatives.

"[This] timely and passionate book reinstates slaves at the center of the ancient household and psyche.... Page duBois has certainly achieved her stated goal in making it far more difficult for classicists anywhere to avoid looking ancient slaves in the face when examining the artifacts, literature, and thought of the societies which denied them liberty." - Edith Hall, Times Literary Supplement"
