199210031Cambridge University Press. 1992. Softcover. Fine. The purpose of this book is to acquaint a wider audience with an archaeological project that could hardly be more revolutionary: the effective discovery and excavation from 1952 onwards of the first Greek establishment in the West Euboean Pithekoussai on the island of Ischia in the Bay of Naples. This vast trading settlement is not at all typical of the Western colonial scene. Pithekoussi is very large and very early and it marks the northern limit of Greek South Italy; furthermore the earliest immigrants may not all have been Greek. This book about Pithekoussai and its implications is based on Giorgio Buchner's excavations there which have revealed a variety of component sites so far without parallel in the contemporary Greek homeland. The cemetery the acropolis dump and suburban industrial quarter each shed light on a different aspect of everyday life at one of the great crossroads of antiquity.; 12mo 7" - 7½" tall; 200 pages . 0521421640 .

2010171128<p>In English. Soft cover 24 cm XXI309 pp. net weight 580 gr.</p><p><em>The author examines ancient Athenian laws and customary practices that shaped the lives of widows and orphans in classical Athenian society taking evidence mainly from the Attic orators. The book has two main parts: I: The Athenian Widow in Law and Society; & II: Orphans in Classical Athens. Among the main issues discussed in part one are the impact of the cycle of external and internal wars and the other demographic factors on family life and structure some of the laws and regulations about widows and orphans and the nature of the archon's protection for widows and orphans in the society; also the socio-legal implications of widowhood against the background of the widow's status in the οἶκος of her deceased husband and her general maintenance and support. One of the two categories of women in classical Athens who together with male minor orphans enjoyed special legal protection was that of the pregnant widow. Thus part one discusses also the status of the pregnant widow in the society and attempts to interpret the law cited in section 75 of Demosthenes' speech 43 Against Makaratus in Regard to the Estate of Hagnias to establish how the pregnant widow stood apart from her ordinary widow or woman counterpart in the eyes of the law and society. The final chapter of part one examines the widow's rights to property vis a vis women's property rights in Athenian society. // </em>For a detailed review see: http://bmcr.brynmawr.edu/2012/2012-02-22.html.</p><p><strong>CONTENTS:</strong></p><p><em><strong>INTRODUCTION - SOURCES</strong></em></p><p>PART ONE: <em><strong>THE ATHENIAN WIDOW IN LAW AND SOCIETY</strong></em></p><p>Chapter 1 - Demography Solon and Administration of Justice in the Athenian Family: 1.
