Description
Summary:Although Pericles' citizenship law of 451-450, which restricted Athenian citizenship to the sons of two Athenian parents, has given rise to many studies, these comments, however, take little into account the fact that this requirement of a double ancestry is found in other cities of the Greek world as well as in other Mediterranean societies. This article attempts to compare the Greek case with the Judean case, which is marked by the prohibition of mixed marriages in the classical period, on the initiative of Ezra and Nehemiah. It seems then possible to associate with this common matrimonial choice other similarities in the model of community construction adopted by these two societies, notably a progressive reorganization of family institutions. It is thus in the same movement that the constructions of identity and status renew the social and economic relations within these two societies.
