Most commentators claim that the expression graodes mythoi used in 1 Tim. 4,7 is a contemptous description of the false teachings, based on the vivid in the ancient society negative stereotype. In this paper, concise review of the prebiblical meaning of the adjective graodes, as well as the noun graus, has been conducted. The results indicate that in the ancient tradition existed also a positive view of old women telling parenetic fictious stories to children. It is clear that the context of these inportant for the society didactic activities was home (oikos). It was observed that the oikos is perceived as a basis for the functioning of the early church in the Patoral Letters. That is why the role of women in the church is one of the important subjects of the Pastorals. In this article, the hypothesis is stated that the expression graodes mythoi might describe the educational activity conducted by old women at home (oikos). One can suppose that the content of their teaching could refer to the traditional elements of apocalyptic encratic doctrine of the first generation Christians. These doctrines would be strongly crticized by leaders of the church in a time of transformation. From this perspective, one can assume that the activity of old women was a subject of polemic, not necessary contempt in the Pastoral Letters.

The laws associated with aged women in the New Testament usually refer to widows. Two authors of Pastoral Epistles are trying to fill this gap, formulating generic imperatives. What is suprising in these imperatives is the terminology connected with aged women: presbytis (Tit. 2:3) and presbytera (1 Tim. 5:2). The morphological similarity of these terms with the well-known word "presbyter", preaches in a way that one suspects indicates not only age but also function. By analysis of preserved inscriptions - from Ephesus, where Timothy exercised his ministry, and from Crete connected with the Letter to Titus - we come to the conclusion that in local Jewish communities the office of female-presbyters is well known. These monuments shed a new light on the more difficult verses of Pastoral Epistles and pave the way for new interpretation, assuming that groups of aged women were part of the community of elders, or they were leaders. The existence of this practice is also provided by Epiphanius and the 11th Canon of the Synod of Laodicea.

Kultura zachodu określana jest mianem kultury młodości, w której liczy się fizyczność bez skazy: bardzo szczupła sylwetka, młody wygląd, gładka skóra i cera, lśniące włosy. W społeczeństwach ponowoczesnych wygląd ciała znamionuje tożsamość społeczną oraz podkreśla osobowość jednostki. Jednak kobiety wraz z wiekiem tracą atrybuty fizyczne, które są tak cenione społecznie. Przedmiotem zainteresowania niniejszego artykułu jest sposób postrzegania zmieniającej się fizyczności kobiet w wieku 65 lat i więcej oraz odpowiedź na pytania: czy zdaniem respondentek kobiety starsze mogą być atrakcyjne? Czy same czują się kobietami atrakcyjnymi? Ile uwagi poświęcają pielęgnacji ciała? Na podstawie wypowiedzi respondentek został skonstruowany obraz kobiety atrakcyjnej a także zrekonstruowano sposób postrzegania własnego ciała przez starsze kobiety. Badanie zostało zrealizowane w 2007 r., w oparciu o wywiady swobodne ukierunkowane z 24 kobietami w wieku 65 lat i więcej.

The West culture is defined as a culture of youth where physicality without flawless: very slim figure, young appearance, smooth skin and complexion, glittering hair are really matters. In postmodern societies the appearance of body distinguishes social identity and underlines the individual personality. However women, together with age, lose physical attributes which are socially so esteemed. The goal of the article is to show the way of perceiving changing women’s physicality in age 65+ in women opinions and also answer the question: Can old women be attractive? Do they feel attractive? How important for them is cherish their bodies? Attractive women’s image was constructed on old woman’s statement. It reconstructs also the own body perception by old women. Research was realized in 2007. Present results are based on 24 interviews with women 65 years old and over

The authors of antique literary texts referring to the Roman Republic gave their attention to women inconsiderably. They were convinced, that woman’ space , according to the ancestors’rules, was a house (domus Romana). Despite of this opinion there are some references to old women in antique testimonia, both Greek and Latin. We can find there few mentions about Veturia, mother of Coriolanus, Cornelia, mother of Cracchi, Terentia, the wife of Marcus Tullius Cicero and Caerellia, the friend of orator. These information allow us to draw an optimistic conclusion regarding to the old woman’ status in Republican Rome. Indeed, we should declare that all of them were born in the upper class (nobilitas) and their familie were wealthy. These four women live during their old age independently, without the care of their male relatives. Probably all of them were widows. Veturia and Cornelia lost sons involved in politics of Rome. Terentia supplied her son Marcus in money. Although their Male relatives were in serious troubles, women did not bear any consequences because of it. They still were living in their splendid house, run rich estate and spent leisure hours Reading books from private libraries and meeting friends.They were persons of good reputation. Most important of all, Veturia’s behaviour and Cornelia’s way of life led to build a parenetic legend about these antique heroins.
