Bárbaros y otros extranjeros en la Atenas clásica: el testimonio de los epitafios

Main Article Content

Abstract

Notes on foreigners and their ethnic origins are few and scattered in classical Athenian literature. Funerary inscriptions provide more comprehensive and more detailed information, yielding a large material of names with ethnics. They include mostly free-born immigrants, among them many women, who probably enjoyed a more independent life than Athenian women. The great majority of immigrants bear ethnics denoting citizenship of a variety of Greek city-states.  Foreigners with barbarian ethnics do not account for more than about 10%, a remarkable fact in the light of Xenophon’s statement (Poroi, 2,3) that most probably is a psychologically easily explainable exaggeration.
