Greek women in most modern films are shown walking everywhere and with freedoms that they didn't actually experience in that time period. In Euripides' Medea lamenting the plight of women, there is an accurate portrayal of what women experienced in Greek society. Like when Medea complains about how she has to handle her husband, listen to him and not look when she starts looking for a mate, while she can't look at anyone but her husband (Craig, Graham, Donald, Ozment and Torner 94). The lives of women and men differed greatly during the Greek period. These thoughts of Medea show the emotional turmoil she went through with the double standard, especially with the punishment of adultery which was bad for a woman, but men were expected to seek out other women. This idea is similar to that of the Code of Hammurabi which applies a double standard for adultery. While there is a visible distinction between the standards of women and men, there is a visible change in the amount of freedom women experience
