The Second Childhood of Mark Golden
This article reviews the past twenty-five years of scholarship on the history of childhood in ancient Greece and Rome, with a special focus on the iconography of childhood, the archaeology of childhood and children's agency

Il soldato e l'atleta: Guerra e sport nella Grecia antica by Paola Angeli Bernardini
412 PHOENIX War in Ancient Greece”) similarly looks at women’s participation in civic life, especially in times of warfare, in both mythological and historical examples. She suggests that the best model of interpretation for their actions is not that of inversion, but of cooperation: war is an event which involves both men and women, in complementary ways. Payen extends this argument in a different direction, noting that the standard claim that w…
Childhood in Ancient Athens: Iconography and Social History by Lesley A. Beaumont
200 PHOENIX Childhood in Ancient Athens: Iconography and Social History. By Lesley A. Beaumont. London and New York: Routledge. 2012. Pp. xvi, 303. Lesley Beaumont's book examines “the iconography of childhood from birth through the whole prepubertal phase of life as presented by Athenian two- and three-dimensional figured art produced between the late seventh and the late fourth century b.c.” (207). Learned if not lively, furnished with 120 illu…
Adolescence
Greeks and Romans recognized adolescence, a stage of life between childhood and full maturity.
Adulthood
Only a free male (Greek aner , Latin vir) ever became fully adult. A slave could always be called a boy (Greek pais , Latin puer) . Free boys themselves might put on the toga virilis in their mid‐teens (in Rome) or be enrolled in their father's deme at seventeen or eighteen (in Athens) or enter the army at the end of their teens and marry in their twenties (in Sparta).
Slavery and the Greek family
INTRODUCTION By the thirteenth book of Homer's Odyssey , Odysseus has finally reached Ithaca. At first, it seems to be yet another strange island on which he has been cast adrift as an outsider. It takes the last half of the poem for Odysseus to reclaim his identity as the father of Telemachus, Penelope's husband, Ithaca's king. The process begins in the hut of Eumaeus, his swineherd and slave. Odysseus is disguised as an old beggar and does not …
A Cultural History of Sexuality in the Classical World
Though many of the sexual practices of the Ancient Greeks and Romans are known and accepted today, the meanings the Ancients associated with these acts were often utterly different from our own. Both idea and practice also varied within antiquity, shaped by locale, history, social class, age, legal status, and gender. Focusing on the cultures of the Mediterranean from 800 BCE to 350 CE, A Cultural History of Sexuality in the Classical World cover…
The Cambridge World History of Slavery
Volume 1 in the new Cambridge World History of Slavery surveys the history of slavery in the ancient Mediterranean world. Although chapters are devoted to the ancient Near East and the Jews, its principal concern is with the societies of ancient Greece and Rome. These are often considered as the first examples in world history of genuine slave societies because of the widespread prevalence of chattel slavery, which is argued to have been a cultur…
Oedipal complexities
It was King Cecrops who first founded marriage at Athens. As a result (according to Charax of Pergamum) he was called diphyēs , “two-natured,” because through him humans recognized that they were born of two beings. Charax, a historian who may have lived in the second century ce , knows another explanation for Cecrops' epithet, and there were more besides – that he was bilingual, that his temperament changed over time, that he was half-serpent an…
Growing Up Fatherless in Antiquity
As the changes in the traditional family accelerated toward the end of the twentieth century, a great deal of attention came to focus on fathers, both modern and ancient. While academics and politicians alike singled out the conspicuous and growing absence of the modern father as a crucial factor affecting contemporary family and social dynamics, ancient historians and classicists have rarely explored ancient father-absence, despite the likelihoo…
Greek Sport and Social Status
From the ancient Olympic games to the World Series and the World Cup, athletic achievement has always conferred social status. In this collection of essays, a noted authority on ancient sport discusses how Greek sport has been used to claim and enhance social status, both in antiquity and in modern times. Mark Golden explores a variety of ways in which sport provided a route to social status. In the first essay, he explains how elite horsemen and…
Eros and Greek Athletics
Sex and Difference in Ancient Greece and Rome
This volume collects and introduces some of the best writing on sexual behaviour and gender differences in ancient Greece and Rome including four chapters newly translated from German and French. For centuries discussions of sexuality and gender in the ancient world, if they took place at all, focussed on how the roles and spheres of the sexes were divided. While men occupied the public sphere of the community, ranged through the Greek and Roman …
Childhood, Class and Kin in the Roman World
It can be difficult to hear the voices of Roman children, women and slaves, given that most surviving texts of the period are by elite adult men. This volume redresses the balance. An international collection of expert contributors go beyond the usual canon of literary texts, and assess a vast range of evidence - inscriptions, burial data, domestic architecture, sculpture and the law, as well as Christian and dream-interpretation literature. Topi…

In the first section (I), I announce a major theme-the creation and expression of difference in Greek sport-and identify a particular area, equestrian competition, marked by the age and wealth of its part…

Exposure-the nearest equivalent of the Greek words2_must often, perhaps even frequently, have been the fate of deformed children or the children of unwed mothers.

Slavery and Homosexuality at Athens
SO M. I. FINLEY IN 1959.1 In the intervening years, numerous studies have been devoted to the makeup of the slave population, the legal status of the slave, the role of the slave in production or commerce or war. It seems, however, that historians have concentrated on the facts of economic and social life at the expense of less clearly defined, but equally important, areas.2 In particular, there has been very little recent work on the effects of …
Pais, « child » and « slave »
Le mot grec pais signifie communément « enfant » et « esclave ». C'est l'histoire du mot qui nous apprend l'origine de cette double signification : l'enfant et l'esclave appartenaient tous deux au rang social subordonné. La caractérisation de l'esclave comme « enfantin » aux points, de vue intellectuel et moral est un développement postérieur du mot. La sujétion des enfants et des esclaves est marquée tout particulièrement par l'abus physique. Ce…

Demosthenes and the Age of Majority at Athens
D EMOSTHENES' BIRTHDATE and the age of majority at Athens constitute one of the most disputed cruces of Athenian prosopography.1 The outlines of the problem are simple. Demosthenes describes himself as 7 years old (~a7r' rCwv bvra 27.4) when his father died. According to the same speech, the first speech against his guardian Aphobus, his minority lasted about 10 years.2 Yet AthPol says Athenian boys came of age at 18 (bKrwKalceKa rT yeyovobre : 4…

Social class differences in the ability of young children to use verbal information to facilitate learning
Two-year-old white boys from Low and High social class (SES) groups were presented with identical learning tasks under nonverbal and verbal conditions. Under the nonverbal condition there were no SES differences, but under the verbal condition the High SES subjects significantly improved their performance and were superior to the Low SES subjects

Donatus’ and Athenian phratries
My purpose in this paper is to reassert the traditional view that Athenian women of the classical period regularly had an association with phratries (and incidentally to clarify the nature of that association). As part (though not an essential part) of my argument I adduce an overlooked piece of evidence, a much discussed passage from the Donatus commentary on Terence; for this I provide a new interpretation. There is some evidence that Athenian …

Aristophanes and Athenian Society of the Early Fourth Century B. C
The purposes of this short monograph are to identify and analyze the problems of Athenian society with which the last two extant plays of Aristophanes - the Ekklesiazousai and the Ploutos - are concerned, as well as to examine the playright's views on the essence of these problems and on attempts to find satisfactory solutions to them. The work contains an introduction and seven sections: 1. Historical Background; 2. Poverty: Symptoms, Ideas rega…
