Answer 2

Answer: Some believed that women should not be free.

In this excerpt, Creon is describing the behaviour that slaves should have, which is that of obeying and not wandering off. He explains this by saying that slaves are to behave like women, who also do not have the liberty to leave. This shows that in Ancient Greece, many people believed that women's liberties had to be restricted, and that they were to follow rules, such as not leaving the home when not allowed to by men.
