What was childhood like in ancient Greece? What activities and games did Greek children embrace? How were they schooled and what religious and ceremonial rites of passage were key to their development? These fascinating questions and many more are answered in this groundbreaking book--the first English-language study to feature and discuss imagery and artifacts relating to childhood in ancient Greece.Coming of Age in Ancient Greece shows that the Greeks were the first culture to represent children and their activities naturalistically in their art. Here we learn about depictions of children in myth as well as life, from infancy to adolescence. This beautifully illustrated book features such archaeological artifacts as toys and gaming pieces alongside images of them in use by children on ancient vases, coins, terracotta figurines, bronze and stone sculpture, and marble grave monuments. Essays by eminent scholars in the fields of Greek social history, literature, archaeology, anthropology, and art history discuss a wide range of topics, including the burgeoning role of childhood studies in interdisciplinary studies; the status of children in Greek culture; the evolution of attitudes toward children from the Bronze Age to the Hellenistic period as documented by literature and art; the relationships of fathers and sons and mothers and daughters; and the roles of cult practice and death in a child's existence.This delightful book illuminates what is most universal and specific about childhood in ancient Greece and examines childhood's effects on Greek life and culture, the foundation on which Western civilization has been based.

This engrossing book is the first investigation of the life cycle of the ancient Greeks from the moment of conception to the onset of old age. Robert Garland draws on a wealth of evidence, including Greek drama and poetry, philosophical works, historical texts, medical tracts, inscriptions, and vase painting. Garland seeks to establish not only what the ancient Greeks did at various ages, but how their social persona was shaped in the process of aging. He investigates their attitudes towards reproduction, contraception, sterility, abortion, childbirth, child-rearing, puberty, generational conflict, marriage and its dissolution, and euthanasia. Garland explores such questions as to what extent the age-classes identified by the Greeks conform to actual changes in human physical, cognitive, and emotional qualities, and the relationship of age-classification to sex and social class. The author also surveys varying systems of age-categorization in different Greek states and considers whether the function of age-categorization as a means of organizing Greek society evolved over time. "The Greek Way of Life" will appeal to anyone with an interest in the ancient world. -- From publisher's description.
