With chapters on the upbringing of satyrs, the reverse-transformation of Eros from young man to baby, working children and young men in Roman Egypt, tales of the misbehaviour of Alexander the Great and some Late Antique students, this volume offers much to engage the interest of ancient historians, classicists and historians of age and ageing in other periods. The book also includes discussions on the careful presentation of freedmen, dressed women and men, wicked imperial stepmothers, obstreperous old Athenians, and some very old grandparents. From the mythological to the more ordinary, chapters investigate attitudes to age and ageing in the ancient world, intergenerational relationships, and the intersections with gender, class and status.
