520 8 |a Loraux begins by discussing the Greek fascination with being born from the earth. Myths of autochthony, she asserts, shed important light on attitudes toward both foreigners and women in democratic states.

Her analysis also extends to contemporary issues, concluding with the place of the foreigner in democratic societies, ancient and modern
