- Synopsis
- This study of manhood in fourth-century Athens provides a comprehensive examination of notions about masculinity found in the Attic orators who represent one of the most important sources for understanding the social history of this period. Roisman focuses on topics such as the nexus between manhood and age; on Athenian men in their various roles; on the concept of masculine shame; on manhood in the military and politics; on the manly virtue of self-control; and on what men feared.
