The Athenian Ephebeia in the Fourth Century BCE by John L. Friend English | 2019 | ISBN: 9004402047 | 326 Pages | True PDF | 2.17 MB
This book offers a reassessment of the late Classical and early Hellenistic Athenian ephebeia, a state-organized and -funded system of mandatory national service for citizens in their nineteenth and twentieth years, consisting of garrison duty, military training, and civic education. "(...) the work is destined to become the principle reference tool for the ephebic inscriptions of the Lycurgan period, replacing Reinmuth's 1971 catalogue." - Nicholas Sekunda, University of Gdańsk, in: Bryn Mawr Classical Review, 2020.11.20
