Classical Greek children
I'm
writing an article on the child in the central, peplos-folding scene
on the Parthenon East frieze, mostly from a technical angle, but
I've rather quickly gotten involved in constructionism: Classical
Greek gender construction of children and just plain Classical Greek
construction of children. Anybody out there know of something to
read on Classical Greek children?

Re: Classical Greek children
The
obvious starting point is M. Golden, *Children and Childhood in
Classical Athens* who has a brief mention of this on p. 44; Golden
has also written a number of articles on Children in the ancient
world [at the recent CAC he delivered a paper on baby talk -- a
subject which was maligned on this list previously [not by me]]

RE: Classical Greek children
There was some discussion of this scene on the frieze at the
Princeton conference on the Panathenaia. Evelyn Harrison and others
were debating who the children were (mythological or present-day
Athenians) and whether they were folding the peplos or unfolding it.
There is a review of the conference in a recent BMCR.

Mark
Golden of the University of Winnipeg (515 Portage Ave., Winnipeg,
Man. R3B 2E9, Canada) would be an obvious person to contact. He
wrote a book on children in ancient Athens, and has also produced a
number of articles on the subject, such as "Did the ancients
care when their children died?", G&R;35.2 (1988) 152-163.

Here's
a recent bit of bibliography on the topic: Daniel J. Geagan, "Children
in Athenian Dedicatory Monuments," in *Boeotia Antiqua* IV.
*Proceedings of the 7th International Congress on Boiotian
Antiquities. Boiotian (and Other) Epigraphy,* ed. John M. Fossey,
