Ancestral fault is a core idea of Greek literature. 'The guiltless
will pay for the deeds later: either the man's children, or his
descendants thereafter', said Solon in the sixth century BC, a
statement echoed throughout the rest of antiquity. This notion lies
at the heart of ancient Greek thinking on theodicy, inheritance and
privilege, the meaning of suffering, the links between wealth and
morality, individual responsibility, the bonds that unite
generations and the grand movements of history. From Homer to
Proclus, it played a major role in some of the most critical and
pressing reflections of Greek culture on divinity, society and
knowledge. The burning modern preoccupation with collective
responsibility across generations has a long, deep antecedent in
classical Greek literature and its reception. This book retraces
the trajectories of Greek ancestral fault and the varieties of its
expression through the many genres and centuries where it is found.
