On The Structure of Greek Tribal Society: An Essay by Hugh E. Seebohm
"On The Structure of Greek Tribal Society: An Essay" by Hugh E. Seebohm is an academic treatise focused on the social structures of ancient Greece, written in the late 19th century. This work aims to analyze and outline the intricate dynamics of kinship, inheritance, and social obligations within Greek tribal society, drawing comparisons with other known tribal systems, particularly those in Wales and India. The opening of the essay begins with apreface where Seebohm acknowledges the influences behind his work, particularly his father's research on tribal systems. He expresses a desire for his insights to be evaluated on their own merits while introducing the complex nature of Greek social structures, which were marked by various migrations and settlements. Seebohm emphasizes the importance of kinship bonds and the social cohesion derived from shared bloodlines, while also laying the groundwork for his comparative analysis with other cultural practices and their underlying tribal customs. This opening sets a scholarly tone for a detailed exploration of Greek social organization. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
