Abstract

The study of social history is not a new phenomenon, but some of today's leading historians are shedding some new light on the history of the family. Such is the case with the social history of classical and hellenistic greece. Many historians have devoted their time to the issues surrounding the history of the Greek family. They have delved into issues such as how the "family shapes, structures, values, and behavior" evolved from the archaic to the hellenistic period. One of the leading historians on the ancient Greek family history is sarah B. pomeroy, and in her book families in classical and hellenistic greece she makes it her mission to discuss the evolution of the Greek family without loosing sight of the history of Greek women as well.
