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.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mia Karts","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51944968814880,"sku":"NEW0521490502","price":93.6,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/miakarts.com\/products\/growing-up-fatherless-in-antiquity-0521490502","provider":"Miakarts Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
