Abstract
En Época Clásica (s. VI – IV a.C.), la ciudad de Atenas experimentó un cambio político y social inimaginable para el resto de poleis helenas; grandes legisladores buscaron una isonomía del demos que se materializó, posteriormente, en la configuración de un sistema democrático, al mismo tiempo que su capacidad bélica y naval hicieron de la polis ateniense una de las principales potencias de toda la Hélade. En la ciudad, la vida pública y la comunidad se mostraron imprescindibles para su configuración política, en cuyas instituciones sólo se encontraban los varones. No obstante, las mujeres atenienses de la polis, a pesar de no responder a los mismos mecanismos que sus compañeros los hombres, se hallaban de igual forma enmarcadas dentro del aparato público de la ciudad. Tanto su estatus de ciudadanas, como su participación en la esfera pública a través de la religión, ya fuera dentro de los rituales cívicos o por su ostentación de cargos públicos, se mostraron imprescindibles para el desarrollo político de Atenas y de su fuerte ideología autóctona durante la época clásica.

In the city, public life and community were essential for its political configuration, in whose institutions only men were found. However, the Athenian women of the polis, despite not responding to the same mechanisms as their male counterparts, were equally framed within the city´s public apparatus. Both their status as citizens, as well as their participation in public sphere through religion, either within civic rituals or because of their ostentation of public office, were essential for the political development of Athens and its strong indigenous ideology during the classical era.
