Do Greek myths offer one cohesive vision of the role of women in Greek society, or is there different roles women play?

Women play different roles in Greek myths, suggesting that
women played various roles in Greek society.

Among the most
famous female goddesses are Aphrodite, the goddess of love; Athena, the goddess of
wisdom and war; and Artemis, the virgin goddess of the hunt. By just comparing these
three female figures, we see startling differences in their roles: Aphrodite is a
sensual being interested in the erotic and has many lovers, Athena is revered by heros
and philosophers and is depicted as a counselor in myth, and Artemis is revered for her
purity as well as her skill in hunting and is thereby depicted as an Amazonian-type
goddess.

Greek myths offer various prototypes of women that
have propagated in subsequent western literatures, and are often invoked by poets. The
very passionate Aphrodite and the chaste Artemis may be seen as a binary within both
Greek myth and later literatures, presenting women as one of two extremes. However, as
can be seen by Athena and others, there is nuance Greek myth's depiction of
women.
