As the changes in the traditional family accelerated toward the end
of the twentieth century, a great deal of attention came to focus
on fathers, both modern and ancient. While academics and
politicians alike singled out the conspicuous and growing absence
of the modern father as a crucial factor affecting contemporary
family and social dynamics, ancient historians and classicists have
rarely explored ancient father-absence, despite the likelihood that
nearly a third of all children in the ancient Mediterranean world
were fatherless before they turned fifteen. The proportion of
children raised by single mothers, relatives, step-parents, or
others was thus at least as high in antiquity as it is today. This
book assesses the wide-ranging impact high levels of chronic
father-absence had on the cultures, politics, and families of the
ancient world.
