What was status of women around 1000 BC?
We know very little about this issue from as far back as 1000 BC, but we can probably extrapolate back from the middle to late centuries of the firste millennium BC. In the Greek world, women were treated very much as equals to men, in relation to both secular and religious issues. Women had equal sexual rights and generally could make their own choice for a husband. Polygamy was illegal. In the Middle East, including Palestine, women had a lower status and, for example, it was generally expected that a woman's father would choose her husband. Polygamy was permissible, even if not frequently practised. Only the husband could choose to divorce.

What are the similarities and differences between ancient greek women and today greek women?
If you compare their situation to that of women in today's more fundamentalist countries, there is very little difference. Women were the 'posession' of their nearest male relative or of their husband, had very little legal rights, were expected to mostly remain in side the house and to venture out only in case of the occasional visit to an 'approved' friend or relative. Only the women of Sparta were equal to the men, had full legal rights, could dress as they liked and participate in sports.
