Through a meticulous analysis of ancient Greek ideas and a critical examination of researchers' presuppositions, the book raises thought-provoking questions about our perception of the family, private life, sex, gender, and death. It explores the historical context of Fustel de Coulanges' views on the role of tomb-cult in the evolution of the family in the ancient world and contextualizes them within the 19th-century milieu. Additionally, the study of the classical Athenian family sheds light on ongoing historical and sociological debates regarding the boundaries between public and private spheres. This profound exploration of human experiences offers a rich and enlightening perspective on the complexities of human society.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 580g\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDimension\u003c\/strong\u003e: 216 x 138 (mm)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eISBN-13\u003c\/strong\u003e: 9781032594668\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"S.C.
