This article originally appeared in The Conversation. As a father of three and the husband of an amazing woman, I know that one day a year is far too little to recognize everything mothers do. But my work as a scholar of ancient Greek literature has shown me how much harder it was to be a mother in antiquity.
The stories that remain of both real and mythical mothers let us know how important they were. Thanks in part to their connection to the life cycle, women in ancient Greece were both symbols of mortality and a force to humanize heroes.
According to the poet Hesiod, typically dated to around B. We have uncertain evidence for what lives were like after marriage. Most historians agree that child loss was common enough in antiquity to be an expectation rather than a surprise. The year-old Prakso, wife of Theocritus, died in labor and left a 3-year-old behind. Classics students often learn that ancient Greek men did not usually spend much time with very young children, given the high rate of loss. As a parent, however, I am less convinced that high rates of loss led parents to be more distant.
I suspect that the sense of uncertainty made children more precious to all family members and that those early years only tightened the bonds between mothers and children in particular.
