The Kalendarium MMXXVI is dedicated to Homeric women, wives, mothers, slaves, concubines, sorceresses... prototypes of the virtues and defects with which women have been categorised throughout history.
Each month, the calendar features a woman accompanied by a text from Homer that illustrates the female figure in her different roles and virtues: motherhood, beauty, submission, fidelity, power of seduction, falsehood, wickedness, hospitality, etc.
The first six women appear in the Iliad and the second six are part of the Odyssey. In this way, we want to give visibility to women and their influence on later literature. The illustrations are selected from Greek ceramics. They are in the public domain and free of copyright.
The Kalendarium MMXXVI is bilingual, in Spanish and Valencian, and has been designed by Tándem Comunicación.
The cover is by the painter Lawrence Alma Tadema, A Greek Woman, 1869.
