The concept of kinship is at the heart of understanding not only the structure and
development of a society, but also the day-to-day interactions of its citizens. Kinship
in Ancient Athens aims to illuminate both of these issues by providing a comprehensive
account of the structures and perceptions of kinship in Athenian society, covering
the archaic and classical periods from Drakon and Solon up to Menander. Drawing on
decades of research into a wide range of epigraphic, literary, and archaeological
sources, and on S. C. Humphreys' expertise in the intersections between ancient history
and anthropology, it not only puts a wealth of data at readers' fingertips, but subjects
it to rigorous analysis. By utilizing an anthropological approach to reconstruct patterns
of behaviour it is able to offer us an ethnographic 'thick description' of ancient
Athenians' interaction with their kin that offers insights into a range of social
contexts, from family life, rituals, and economic interactions, to legal matters,
politics, warfare, and more.
