'In his preface the author claims for his book that it will fill a long-felt gap in our understanding of Greek society by providing a thorough study of the family. The book entirely justifies this claim (…). Lacey also in his preface declares his wise decision to make little use of evidence from the tragic poets on the ground that 'Athenian audiences did not suppose that figures on the tragic stage were normal human beings living in normal family circumstances'.' (A.R.W. HARRISON in The Classical Review (New Series), 1969, p.208). From the library of the late Prof. W. Geoffrey Arnott. € 25.00 (Antiquarian)
