In this volume, Bobou offers a systematic analysis of ancient Greek
statues of children from the sanctuaries, houses, and necropoleis
of the Hellenistic world in order to understand their function and
meaning. Comparing images of children in reliefs, terracotta
figurines, and marble statutes, she shows that children and
childhood became more prominent in the visual material record from
the late fifth century BC, a time during which children became a
matter of parental and state concern. Looking at the literary and
epigraphical evidence, Bobou argues that statues of children were
important for transmitting civic values to future citizens, serving
as paradigms of behaviour and standing testament to the strength
and future of a community. Created by adults, the statues reveal
much about adult ideology and values during this period, and the
expectations and hopes placed on children. The combination of
iconographic studies and examination of the original locations in
which statues were placed highlights the importance of children in
Hellenistic society as well as their connection with specific areas
of civic and social life.
