Greece and Rome By
Fustel de Coulanges, edited & revised by J. W. Jamieson—
It was not the sky gods but a consciousness of the
importance of heredity and a devotion to the Family and
Kindred that provided the basis of the social and political
organization of ancient Greece and Rome. Early Greek and
Roman society was organized around the family and the
kinship group. Citizenship was determined by birth, and
aliens were not only barred from acquiring any political
rights and the ownership of property but even from residence
within the city except as slaves or bonded clients. Indeed,
even the sky gods were personal to kinship groups, and of
less significance than the Lars and Penates, the ancestral
spirits and gods of the family hearth. The Histories Herodotus—A lively account of the ancient Greeks by the greatest Hellenic historian.
