This book, a groundbreaking study of manhood in fourth-century Athens, is the first to provide 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. While previous studies have assumed a uniform ideology about manhood, Joseph Roisman finds that Athenians had quite varied opinions about what constituted manly values and conduct. He situates the evidence for ideas about manhood found in the Attic orators in its historical, ideological, and theoretical contexts to explore various manifestations of Athenian masculinity as well as the rhetoric that both articulated and questioned it. Roisman focuses on topics such as the nexus between manhood and age; on Athenian men in their roles as family members, friends, and lovers; on the concept of masculine shame; on relations between social and economic status and manhood; on manhood in the military and politics; on the manly virtue of self-control; and on what men feared. 606 $aMasculinity$zGreece$zAthens$xHistory$yclassical age 606 $aRhetoric, Ancient 607 $aAthens (Greece)$xCivilization 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aMasculinity$xHistory 615 0$aRhetoric, Ancient. 676 $a305.31/0938/5 700 $aRoisman$b Joseph$f1946-$0182157 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910450104103321 996 $aThe rhetoric of manhood$92489950 997 $aUNINA
