About this book

Athenian society grew out of tribal institutions, argues Hugh E. Seebohm in this essay of 1895. He starts from the bond of kinship and takes up duties to parents, male succession, the position of a childless widow and of an only daughter, adoption, and liability for bloodshed. Later chapters ask how far kinship reached and how the family related to its land, the kleros and the oikos, drawing on Homer and Hesiod and comparing Welsh and Indian customs. Seebohm credits the Welsh tribal studies of his father and also acknowledges Fustel de Coulanges.
