Abstract

In our preview article (Castillo, López 2016) we focused on role of people with disabilities, both in Ancient Egypt and classical Greece, their economic, social and political situation. In this second part we are going to discuss the topics left aside in the first article which are the references to dwarfs in relation to Egyptian divinities and their religious function and finally the image of ritual lameness and its ideological function within the aristocracy, representation very present in the imaginary of Mediterranean societies.
