Greek (Ancient) term
τὴν τῶν γυναικῶν κοινωνίαν τοῖς ἀνδράσιν
Greek (Ancient) to English
Art/Literary
Philosophy
These are words from Plato's Republic, book V, 466c. If I'm not wrong it is part of what is translated into English as: "men and women are to have a common way of life". I also have a Polish translation that says "common way of life of women with men". Since I'm analysing Plato from gender perspective I would like to know if it is: "women and men" or "women with men"?

women with men
"Women with men" would be more accurate since dative is used in the original text.

women to men
"tois andrasin" is dative. In translation, however, I would prefer "with" instead of "to". "women's common life with men".
