Examination of testimonies from Troezen referring to the generosity (euergesia) exhibited in absorption of the Athenian evacuees, together with the chronology of public involvement in Greek elementary education (paideia), undermines the historical credibility of Plutarch's account and indicates anachronism. This study suggests that the close interconnection between euergesia and paideia, first documented in the Hellenistic period, is the basis of Plutarch's, or his sources', interpretation of the Troezenians' munificence toward Athenian refugees in the form of subsidized schooling. Thus Plutarch's account less reflects the historical reality of the Archaic period, but rather the significance of Greek paideia in the historical memory of later generations. pubtype: Academic Journal doctype: Article src: R language: English refInfo: copyright: @attributes: flag: Y dt: @attributes: year: 2020 holdings: @attributes: islocal: N |
