Greek Bastardy in the Classical and Hellenistic Periods (Hardcover, New)

Sperm and machismo in Sparta, the belief that it is possible to have two biological fathers, and "womb strife" between half-siblings - these are among the fascinating insights about Greek attitudes towards sex and society revealed in this first full length study of illegitimacy in the Greek world. Disciples of Foucault, and a wide range of social historians - from scholars of Athenian law to women in antiquity - should all find this of prime interest and importance.
