Children on Choes

Between the second half of the fifth century BC and the first quarter of the following century, there was an increase in Athenian choes featuring images of children. A systematic analysis of these vase paintings has discovered that the painters did not document the lives of Athenian children, their activities, and how their parents perceived them. However, the choes with depictions of children is a valuable source of historical information on the self-image of Athenian men.

Jan Bažant, Ph.D. (1973), Academy of Sciences of the Czech Republic, is Professor of classical archaeology at the Charles University. He has published monographs and many articles on the art of ancient Greece and Rome and its reception in the western tradition.
