Types of Women
''Types of Women'' (sometimes translated simply as ''Women'') is an Archaic Greek satirical poem written by Semonides of Amorgos in the sixth or seventh century BCE. The poem is based on the idea that Zeus created men and women differently, and that he specifically created ten types of women based on different models from the natural world. The poem survives due to its inclusion in the anthology of Joannes Stobaeus.
==Content==
Of the ten types of women in the poem, nine are delineated as destructive: the dirty woman comes from a pig; the cunning woman originates from a fox, the incessantly curious and high-maintenance woman comes from a dog, the lazy or apathetic woman comes from earth or soil, the capricious woman of mood swings comes from seawater, the stubborn woman comes from an ass, the untrustworthy and uncontrollable woman comes from a weasel or skunk (depending on the translation), the overly proud woman comes from a mare, and the worst and ugliest type of woman comes from an ape or monkey. Only the "Bee Woman" (who is dismissed as an impossible ideal) is regarded as virtuous. The bee reference is considered homage to the earlier poem of Hesiod entitled ''Theogony'', which uses the metaphor of women and men as bees in one part.
