Book excerpt: John Dillon describes intriguing aspects of everyday life in Athenian society and considers the moral and ethical questions the Greeks associated with them. Chapters are devoted to the family (including relations between husband and wife and parents and children); the position of non-citizen women (the problems and limited rights of courtesans, for example); inheritance (securing the male heir, the rights of widows, daughters); behaviour towards friends and enemies; friendship and love; homosexuality and pseudo-homosexuality; slavery (what it was like to be a slave, the various conditions of slaves, etc); and piety and impiety. Each chapter draws on historical sources to tell two or more contrasting stories chosen to give students a handle on attitudes and beliefs as well as on texts from contemporary literature, history, or philosophy that bear on the issues of the chapter. The book is as much an introduction to ancient Greek thought and literature as to its moral codes and behaviour. It is based on a course given at Trinity College Dublin over several years.

Book Synopsis Greek Popular Morality in the Time of Plato and Aristotle by : K. J. Dover
Download or read book Greek Popular Morality in the Time of Plato and Aristotle written by K. J. Dover and published by Hackett Publishing. This book was released on 1994-01-01 with total page 358 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In ancient Greece, as today, popular moral attitudes differed importantly from the theories of moral philosophers. While for the latter we have Plato and Aristotle, this insightful work explores the everyday moral conceptions to which orators appealed in court and political assemblies, and which were reflected in non-philosophical literature. Oratory and comedy provide the primary testimony, and reference is also made to Sophocles, Euripides, Herodotus, Thucydides, Xenophon, and other sources. The selection of topics, the contrasts and comparisons with modern religious, social and legal principles, and accessibility to the non-specialist ensure the work's appeal to all readers with an interest in ancient Greek culture and social life.

Book Synopsis Moral Codes and Social Structure in Ancient Greece by : Joseph M. Bryant
Download or read book Moral Codes and Social Structure in Ancient Greece written by Joseph M. Bryant and published by SUNY Press. This book was released on 1996-01-01 with total page 600 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An exercise in cultural sociology, Moral Codes and Social Structure in Ancient Greece seeks to explicate the dynamic currents of classical Hellenic ethics and social philosophy by situating those idea-complexes in their socio-historical and intellectual contexts. Central to this enterprise is a comprehensive historical-sociological analysis of the Polis form of social organization, which charts the evolution of its basic institutions, roles, statuses, and class relations. From the Dark Age period of "genesis" on to the Hellenistic era of "eclipse" by the emergent forces of imperial patrimonialism, Polis society promoted and sustained corresponding normative codes which mobilized and channeled the requisite emotive commitments and cognitive judgments for functional proficiency under existing conditions of life. The aristocratic warrior-ethos canonized in the Homeric epics; the civic ideology of equality and justice espoused by reformist lawgivers and poets; the democratization of status honor and martial virtue that attended the shift to hoplite warfare; the philosophical exaltation of the Polis-citizen bond as found in the architectonic visions of Plato and Aristotle; and the subsequent retreat from civic virtues and the interiorization of value articulated by the Skeptics, Epicureans, and Stoics, new age philosophies in a world remade by Alexander's conquests--these are the key phases in the evolving currents of Hellenic moral discourse, as structurally framed by transformations within the institutional matrix of Polis society.

Book Synopsis Citizen and Self in Ancient Greece by : Vincent Farenga
Download or read book Citizen and Self in Ancient Greece written by Vincent Farenga and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2006-05-29 with total page 499 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This 2006 study examines how the ancient Greeks decided questions of justice as a key to understanding the intersection of our moral and political lives. Combining contemporary political philosophy with historical, literary and philosophical texts, it examines a series of remarkable individuals who performed 'scripts' of justice in early Iron Age, archaic and classical Greece. From the earlier periods, these include Homer's Achilles and Odysseus as heroic individuals who are also prototypical citizens, and Solon the lawgiver, writing the scripts of statute law and the jury trial. In democratic Athens, the focus turns to dialogues between a citizen's moral autonomy and political obligation in Aeschyleon tragedy, Pericles' citizenship paradigm, Antiphon's sophistic thought and forensic oratory, the political leadership of Alcibiades and Socrates' moral individualism.
