The first book-length joint treatment of honour and slavery, drawing on new approaches to the philosophy, psychology and sociology of honour.
For the last four decades, the trend in ancient Greek history has been to view the intersection of slavery and honour wholly in terms of dishonour, with slaves often seen as standing outside the dynamics of honour and recognition. Drawing on new approaches to the philosophy, psychology and sociology of honour, this volume showcases thirteen essays by established and upcoming scholars in which a more complex reality is illustrated. Whilst slavery and dishonour did often go together in the Greek world, slaves could be both the recipients and bestowers of honour across a range of contexts within and beyond the household.
