Abstract :In ancient Greek society, women played an active role, especially in religion, funerals, birth and the functioning of the oikos. Women were responsible for the maintenance of the house, cleaning, cooking, and the production of clothing by weaving. At the same time, women were the ones who carried the water needs of the house. They carried the water needs of the house as well as the needs of the rituals (Brule, 1987, p:99). Women were mostly involved in religious activities, which were an important element in city-states. These duties also strengthened their activities in the house. Women carried water with hydria in both daily life and religious festivals. Women who carried water with hydria were called hydriaphoros. Women carried water in cult ceremonies that included water. This iconography is depicted on a black-figured vase made in the late 6th century BC.
