The Greeks, rightly credited with the invention of civic openness, are revealed as also part of a more eastern tradition of seclusion. From the iconography as well as the literature of Greece, Lloyd Llewellyn-Jones shows that fully veiling of face and head was commonplace. He analyses the elaborate Greek vocabulary for veiling, and explores what the veil was meant to achieve. He also uses Greek and more recent - mainly Islamic - evidence to show how women could exploit and subvert the veil to achieve eloquent, sometimes emotional, communication. Author Biography Lloyd Llewellyn-Jones has established himself as an authority on the representation and dress of Greek women. He is editor of Womens Dress in the Ancient Greek World (Classical Press of Wales, 2002).
