About the Authors

This book considers traditional assumptions about the nature of social relationships in Greek households during the Classical and Hellenistic periods, which draws on archaeological evidence from individual houses rather than textual sources. The focus of the study is the domestic organization of households, particularly the relationships between men and women within the households, between household members and outsiders, and with the wider social structures of the polis or city state, and how these changed with time.
- The Greek household is an increasingly popular field of research
- Brings together archaeological evidence from a range of sites in Greece and southern Italy with ideas about domestic organisation and social behaviour associated with ethnography and ancient history
- Addresses the issue of gender relations within ancient Greek households through archaeology
