TEXTS OF SOURCES 49 - - II. SECONDARY AUTHORITIES 50 - - - - - CHAPTER I - TERMS USED FOR NURSE - - -Of the various terms employed in the literature to designate the nurse -we shall speak only of four: τροφός, τιθήνη, μαῖα, and τίτθη. The first -three are found in Homer[1] and the Hymns[2] with no apparent difference -of meaning. τίτθη is of later origin and is used of a wet-nurse by -Plato,[3] Demosthenes,[4] Aristotle,[5] Antiphanes,[6] Plutarch,[7] -Soranus.[8] The ancient lexicographers generally bear out this meaning -of the word. While Herodianus (I, 456, l. 2, Lentz), Hesychius and -Photius give τροφός as a synonym for τίτθη, Suidas defines it more at -length: τίτθαι, οὕτω καλοῦνται αἱ τοῖς τιτθίοις καὶ τῷ γάλακτι τρέφουσαι -τὰ παιδία. Eustathius[9] calls wet-nurses τίτθαι, and those who have the -care of children after weaning τιθηνοί and τροφοί: τίτθαι ... αἱ τοὺς -τιτθοὺς παρέχουσαι ... τιθηνοὶ δέ, ἔτι δὲ καὶ τροφοί ... αἱ τὸν ἄλλον -φασί, πόνον μετὰ τὸν ἀπογαλακτισμὸν ἀναεχόμεναι. Pollux defines τίτθαι -as αἱ θηλάζουσαι (II, 163) and again (III, 50) he says: τὴν δὲ -θηλάζουσαν Εὔπολις τίτθην θηλάστριαν ὠνόμασε. Between τιθήνη and τίτθη -he makes this distinction: ἡ δὲ τροφὸς τῆς κόρης, τιθήνη· καὶ ἡ γάλα -παρέχουσα τίτθη (III, 41). However, a writer of the second century A. D. -plainly referring to a wet-nurse, uses τίθηνη, - - κοῦρος ὑπ’ ἐκ μαζοῖο τιθήνης - χείλεσιν αὖ ἐρύει λαρὸν γλάγος.[10] - -The Etymologicum Magnum refers τιθήνη to τιτθόν: τιθήνας, τροφοὺς παρὰ -τὸ τιτθόν. According to Brugmann[11] τίτθη, τιθήνη, τίτθος are formed by -reduplication beside θήλη, “mother’s breast.” - -As to the word τροφός, Herodianus (I, 225, l. 11, Lentz) refers it to -τρέφω. Hesychius[12] contrasts it with θρέμμα, “nursling.” Pollux -(l. c.) seems to distinguish τροφός and μαῖα and to take the latter as -meaning more strictly, “Ea quae lactat,” as Stephanus remarks in his -Thesaurus. - -Various meanings were attached to the word μαῖα. Besides its use as -“mid-wife,” it was employed as a form of address in speaking to nurses: - - εἰ δ’ ἄγε δή μοι, μαῖα φίλη.[13] - - μαῖα, θεῶν μὲν δῶρα καὶ ἀχνύμενοι περ ἀνάγκῃ.[14] - - μαῖα, πάλιν μου κρύψον κεφαλάν.[15] - -The signification was even extended to embrace the true mother, as -attested by Euripides, Alcestis 393, where the child says of its mother: -μαῖα δὴ κάτω βέβακεν. - -To distinguish accurately and sharply between the different words for -nurse is not our present purpose. Doubtless the differences between them -were not broad and clear even to the Greeks themselves. τροφός seems to -be employed as the generic term, while τίτθη is generally used for -“wet-nurse” and τροφός and τιθήνη for “nursery-maid.” - - - - - CHAPTER II - SOCIAL STATUS OF THE NURSE - - - _From Homer to Herodotus_ - -The Homeric poems deal wholly with the life of the upper classes. Hence -we do not get from them a complete picture of how all classes lived. -Even for the aristocrat therein described, the habits of life were -simple. Mothers nursed their own children: thus Hecuba speaks to her -son, Hector: - - Ἕκτορ, τέκνον ἐμόν, τάδε τ’ αἴδεο καὶ μ’ ἐλέησον - αὐτήν, εἴ ποτέ τοι λαθικηδέα μαζὸν ἐπέσχον.[16] - -Still, there is one instance which points to a different practice. -Odysseus in addressing his old nurse Eurycleia says: - - μαῖα, τίη μ’ ἐθέλεις ὀλέσαι; σὺ δέ μ’ ἔτρεφες αὐτὴ - τῷ σῷ ἐπὶ μαζῷ.[17] - -The expression ἐπὶ μαζῷ here employed is used in another place of the -relation between mother and child: - - πάις δέ οἱ ἦν ἐπὶ μαζῷ - νήπιος, ὅς που νῦν γε μετ’ ἀνδρῶν ἵζει ἀριθμῷ[18] - -However this may be, nurses were employed as the attendants of the -children whom they amused and brought up as long as they remained in the -house of the parents. - -Whatever function she performed, the Homeric nurse was a slave, either a -captive: - - τήν ποτ’ Ἀπείρηθεν νέες ἤγαγον ἀμφιέλισσαι.[19] - -or purchased as an ordinary slave: - - τήν ποτε Λαέρτης πρίατο κτεάτεσσιν ἑοῖσι, - πρωθήβην ἔτ’ ἐοῦσαν, ἐεικοσάβοια δ’ ἔδωκεν.[20] - -The Phrygian nurse of Hector’s son may be taken as a model of the Greek -nurse of an infant. Nothing is said as to her social standing, but we -infer from her occupation[21] that she was a slave. - -The Phoenician woman, nurse to Eumaeus, gives us an instance of the -nurse of an older child. She had been captured and sold as a slave to a -master, whose hard bonds she feared: - - ἀλλά μ’ ἀνήρπαξαν Τάφιοι ληίστορες ἄνδρες - ἀγρόθεν ἐρχομένην, πέρασαν δέ τε δεῦρ’ ἀγαγόντες - τοῦδ’ ἀνδρὸς πρὸς δώμαθ’· ὁ δ’ ἄξιον ὦνον ἔδωκε. - · · · · · - μή τις ποτὶ δῶμα γέροντι - ἐλθὼν ἐξείπῃ, ὁ δ’ ὀϊσάμενος καταδήσῃ - δεσμῷ ἐν ἀργαλέῳ, ὑμῖν δ’ ἐπιφράσσετ’ ὄλεθρον.[22] - -In striking contrast to this unfaithful slave is Eurycleia, the nurse of -the grown son, whose rank is higher than that of the ordinary slave, for -she had general supervision over the fifty female slaves of the -household and assisted the mistress in teaching them: - - πεντήκοντά τοί εἰσιν ἐνὶ μεγάροισι γυναῖκες - δμωαί, τὰς μέν τ’ ἔργα διδάξαμεν ἐργάζεσθαι, - εἴριά τε ξαίνειν κὰι δουλοσύνην ἀνέχεσθαι.[23] - -It is she, too, who fills the important office of ταμίη.[24] Indeed, she -is treated as a member of the family, is the friend and confidante of -the mistress who shows her great deference.[25] - -The nurse of the grown daughter is seen in Eurymedusa who had been a -captive, the prize of King Alcinous.[26] - -Penelope’s nurse, Eurynome, has much the same office as Eurycleia.[27] -Like her, she is a trusted slave devoted to her mistress. - -In the Homeric Hymn to Demeter, the duties which the goddess takes upon -herself when she assumes the form of a nurse are identical with those -performed by Eurycleia in the Odyssey: - - καί κεν παῖδα νεογνὸν ἐν ἀγκοίνῃσιν ἔχουσα - καλὰ τιθηνοίμην, καὶ δώματα τηρήσαιμι, - καί κε λέχος στορέσαιμι μυχῷ θαλάμων εὐπήκτων - δεσπόσυνον, καί κ’ ἔργα διδασκήσαιμι γυναῖκας.[28] - -Still, she is not the slave of the people for whom she works, and is -promised such compensation (θρεπτήρια) for her services as would make -her an object of envy to the women of the household.[29] - -Aphrodite learned Anchises’ language from her Trojan nurse: - - γλῶσσαν δ’ ὑμετέρην καὶ ἡμετέρην σάφα οἶδα· - Τρῳὰς γὰρ μεγάρῳ με τροφὸς τρέφεν, ἡ δὲ διαπρό - σμικρὴν παῖδ’ ἀτίταλλε φίλης παρὰ μητρὸς ἑλοῦσα.[30] - -The nurse is probably a slave, for wherever slave-trading was known it -must have been usual to employ a foreign nurse. - -The historians naturally have but little occasion to speak of domestic -life. Herodotus, however, introduces into his narrative not only -political history, but also matters of purely social interest. Hence we -are not surprised to find a nurse in his sixth book.[31] This nurse is -presumably a slave, for she receives the commands of the parents to show -the child to no one. - - - _In Tragedy._ - -The nurses of Tragedy are old women who have spent years in the service -of their masters (παλαιὸν οἴκων κτῆμα).[32] Even after the child they -had nursed had grown up, they were still retained in the household.[33] -There can be no doubt that like the nurses of Homer they were -slaves.[34] Medea’s nurse is addressed as κτῆμα δεσποίνης[35] and when -speaking to the παιδαγωγός, she calls herself σύνδουλος.[36] Then, too, -the fall of the mistress involved that of the nurse, a calamity hinted -at in Hippolytus: - - οὐ δῆθ’ ἑκοῦσά γ’, ἐν δὲ σοὶ λελείψομαι;[37] - -and in Medea: - - χρηστοῖσι δούλοις ξυμφορὰ τὰ δεσποτῶν - κακῶς πίτνοντα, καὶ φρενῶν ἀνθάπτεται.[38] - -Hecuba, bewailing her fate, foresees that she who had once been Queen of -Troy will be forced to become the nurse of children.[39] - - - _In Athens_ - -But it was not only captives and slaves who nursed children. In the -fourth century we find at Athens free women performing the office of -nurse. Euxitelos in pleading against Eubolides answers the reproach they -attach to his mother of having been a nurse. He says that his father had -gone to the war, leaving his mother with two small children to support. -Hence she was obliged to take Cleinias to nurse: αὐτὴ δ’ οὖ σ’ ἐν -ἀπορίαις, ἠναγκάσθη τὸν Κλεινίαν τὸν τοῦ Κλειδίκου τιτθεῦσαι.[40] He -admits that it is a mean employment, but affirms that he can give the -names of free-born women, who, like his mother, were compelled by stress -of poverty to become nurses: καὶ γὰρ νῦν ἀστὰς γυναῖκας πολλὰς εὑρήσετε -τιτθευούσας.[41] - -In another Oration of Demosthenes, In Evergum, there is an instance of -an old and poor nurse living with the man she had nursed as a child. The -father of this person, in recompense for her care, had given her her -freedom: καὶ μετ’ αὐτῆς τίτθή τις ἐμοὶ γενομένη πρεσβυτέρα, ἄνθρωπος -εὔνους καὶ πιστή, καὶ ἀφειμένη ἐλευθέρα ὑπὸ τοῦ πατρὸς τοῦ ἐμοῦ.[42] She -married and on the death of her husband returned to her nursling, who -received her all the more willingly inasmuch as he was about to leave -home and was pleased to have such a sure companion for his wife. When -Euvergus and his accomplices break into the house, they find the old -woman seated at table with the mistress and children. The nurse, trying -to conceal a vase in her dress, is seen by the robbers who fall upon her -and beat her until she gives it up. Some days afterwards she dies from -injuries received, but not before having been cared for by a doctor -summoned especially for her. - -No instance is given by Plato or Aristotle of the manumission of a -nurse. The former, on the contrary, speaks of the δούλεια ἤθη -τροφῶν.[43] - -The nurse of New Comedy is usually a slave; still she sometimes receives -her freedom, as in the case of Moschio’s nurse in the Samia of Menander: - - τοῦ δὲ Μοσχίωνος ἦν - τίτθη τις αὕτη πρεσβυτέρα, γεγονυῖ’ ἐμὴ - θεράπαιν’, ἐλευθέρα δὲ νῦν.[44] - -“Though emancipated, she yet remained in the service of her former -master,” her status being similar to that of the metic.[45] We also have -inscriptional evidence that women belonging to the metic class were -employed as nurses who being free-born must have received wages: -Ἀπολλοδώρου ἰσοτέλου θυγάτηρ Μέλιττα τίτθη.[46] - - - _Foreign Nurses_ - -Though the Athenians had a natural repugnance to the severity of the -Spartan discipline, still the aversion was not so intense but that some -of the Lacedemonian customs found ready acceptance in Athens. -Aristophanes, Birds, 1281,[47] makes it clear that the Athenians were -“Spartan-mad.” For this reason, no doubt, Spartan women whose robust -health was famed throughout Greece,[48] were sought to inaugurate that -regimen peculiar to the Spartan nurse. Hence Plutarch: Διὸ καὶ τῶν -ἔξωθεν ἔνιοι τοῖς τέκνοις Λακωνικὰς ἐωνοῦντο τιτθάς,[49] and he also -records that Amycla, the nurse of Alcibiades was a Spartan: Ἀλκιβιάδου -δὲ καὶ τίτθην, γένος Λάκαιναν, Ἀμύκλαν ὄνομα.[50] The virtue of these -Spartan women and the esteem in which they were generally held are -attested to by a monument erected by Diogeitus to the nurse of his -children. On it we find the following inscription: - - Ἐνθάδε γῆ κατέχει τίτθην παιδίων Διογείτου ἐκ - Πελοποννήσου τὴν δὲ δικαιοτάτην. - Μαλίχα Κυθηρία.[51] - -But it was not only from Sparta that the Athenians obtained nurses for -their children. We have an inscription from the monument of the -Corinthian nurse Φάνιον.[52] And there is an epigram of Callimachus on a -Phrygian nurse whose master cared for her during her life-time, and when -she was dead set up her statue, that posterity might see how the old -woman received in full the thanks for her nurture.[53] Thrace, too, -furnished its share of types of nurses: - - καί μ’ ἁ Θευχαρίδα Θρᾷσσα τροφὸς ἁ μακαρῖτις - ἀγχίθυρος ναίοισα, κατεύξατο καὶ λιτάνεσε - τὰν πομπὰν θάσασθαι.[54] - -Such was the honor in which they were held that one Cleita was -considered worthy of a monument, as we learn from an epigram of -Theocritus: - - ὁ μίκκος τόδ’ ἔτευξε τᾷ Θραΐσσᾳ, - Μήδειος τὸ μνᾶμ’ ἐπὶ τᾷ ὁδῷ κἠπέγραψε Κλείτας.[55] - -The fact that the Greeks employed foreign nurses may also be inferred -from the essay, De Liberis Educandis, attributed to Plutarch, in which -the author loudly inveighs against the practice of entrusting children -to any nurse whatsoever. He insists on her being selected with the -utmost care, laying down as a fundamental qualification that she be of -the Greek race: ἀλλὰ τάς γε τίτθας καὶ τὰς τροφούς, οὐ τὰς τυχούσας, -ἀλλ’ ὡς ἔνι μάλιστα σπουδαίας, δοκιμαστέον ἐστί. πρῶτον μὲν τοῖς ἤθεσιν -Ἑλληνίδας.[56] According to the same author these women received wages -for their work: αἱ τίτθαι δὲ καὶ αἱ τροφοὶ τὴν εὔνοιαν ὑποβολιμαίαν καὶ -παρέγγραπτον ἔχουσιν, ἅτε μισθοῦ φιλοῦσαι.[57] - -Such was the social status of this Greek nurse, a picture necessarily -composite since the details are drawn from so many sources; but from -what has been said, it may be concluded that the nurse, though usually a -slave, was sometimes manumitted, that a preference was frequently shown -at Athens for the foreign-bred nurse and that on occasion free women -resorted to nursing as a means of gaining a livelihood. - - - - - CHAPTER III - THE NURSE AND THE FAMILY - - -The helpless condition of infancy has always called for special offices -to tide the child over the first years of life. These offices are -performed either by mother or nurse. Among the Greeks, the nurse was a -familiar figure in the household; and although our knowledge of Greek -domestic life must necessarily be limited from the fact that the women’s -apartments are so persistently closed against us, nevertheless from -side-lights furnished by our threefold source of information—the -literature, the art and the inscriptions—we cannot help being impressed -by the important place which the nurse held in the family. - -Let us now turn to a more exact consideration of the various duties of -the nurse in relation to the children, to the grown daughter, the grown -son and lastly to the household. In this way we shall be led to a -clearer conception of the general characteristics which marked the -nurse’s dealings with her charge. - - - DUTIES TO THE CHILD - - - _Bathing_ - -Among the principal duties incumbent on the nurse of an infant was the -giving of the bath. That it was given immediately after birth, we infer -from Lycophron’s Alexandra, 309, where a child dies πρὶν ἐκ λοχείας γυῖα -χυτλῶσαι δρόσῳ, and also from Plautus, Amphitryo, 1103: “Postquam -peperit pueros lavere iussit nos.” The heroine nymphs of Libya, acting -as nurses, bathed Athena when she leaped in gleaming armor from the head -of Zeus.[58] Some nurses preferred pure water;[59] others, like the -Spartans, bathed the child in wine as a test of its strength, they being -of the opinion that the weakly ones would faint, but the more vigorous -would acquire firmness and hardness after a bath of this kind.[60] On a -vase portraying the life of Achilles one of the scenes shows the nurse -giving the infant son of Thetis his first bath.[61] The vessel in which -this bath is given is mentioned by Pindar: - - ἐπεί νιν καθαροῦ λέβητος ἔξελε Κλωθώ.[62] - - - _Swaddling Clothes_ - -Attic nurses wrapped the infant in swaddling clothes (σπάργανα).[63] As -far as we can gather from the grave-reliefs these seem to have been long -narrow strips of cloth bound like bandages around the child’s body, -which they completely covered from head to foot, leaving nothing but the -face uncovered.[64] White,[65] purple,[66] and saffron[67] are mentioned -as colors of these bands. The practice of swaddling children is alluded -to by Hesiod,[68] and frequent reference is made to it by the -Tragedians.[69] The Theban children given over to the state were -swaddled.[70] The nurse in the Amphitryo complained that Hercules was so -large she could not swathe him.[71] How long the children were kept thus -bound we do not know; but we can hardly suppose that it was until they -had reached the age of two years, as Plato advises.[72] The Spartan -nurses dispensed with these bands, allowing the children to grow up -unrestrained in limb and form.[73] Exposed children were sometimes -recognized by the swaddling clothes.[74] - - - _Food_ - -The child was suckled either by mother[75] or nurse.[76] Naturally the -practice of employing wet-nurses prevailed chiefly among well-to-do -mothers.[77] The author of the De Liberis Educandis counsels mothers to -nurse their own children, and dilates on the advantages accruing -therefrom; nevertheless he permits the employment of wet-nurses wherever -the mothers cannot perform the duty themselves.[78] Antiphanes -considered the Scythians the wisest of men because they fed their -children on mare’s and cow’s milk, and did not entrust them to nurses as -did the Greeks.[79] In the Menaechmi of Plautus distinction is made -between “mater quae mammam dabat” and “mater quae pepererat,”[80] and in -the Adelphi of Terence the services of a nurse are secured for a -courtesan.[81] We have ample evidence from Demosthenes that this -employment was resorted to by poor women as a means of livelihood during -the hard times which followed the Peloponnesian War.[82] We read besides -that nurses were allowed to nurse but one child at a time.[83] Plato -refers to definite laws regarding the nurture of children,[84] and -speaks of the time when they were fed with milk: ἐκ νέων παίδων ἔτι ἐν -γάλαξι τρεφόμενοι.[85] In the community of wives and children, he would -have the mothers, from a feeling of humanity, assisted in the nurture of -the children by wet-nurses: καὶ ἄλλας γάλα ἐχούσας ἐκπορίζοντες.[86] -Aristotle associates infantile maladies with the physical condition of -the nurse: εἴωτε δὲ τὰ παιδία τὰ πλεῖστα σπασμὸς ἐπιλαμβάνειν καὶ μᾶλλον -τὰ εὐτραφέστερα καὶ γάλακτι χρώμενα πλείονα ἢ παχυτέρῳ καὶ τίτθαις -εὐσάρκοις,[87] and φύει δὲ πρῶτον τοὺς προσθίους, καὶ τὰ μὲν τοὺς ἄνωθεν -πρότερον, τὰ δὲ τοὺς κάτωθεν. πάντα δὲ θᾶττον φύουσιν, ὅσων αἱ τίτθαι -θερμότερον ἔχουσι τὸ γάλα.[88] He objects to the use of wine for young -children,[89] and deems it unsuitable for the nurses as well: διὸ τοῖς -παιδίοις οὐ συμφέρουσιν οἱ οἶνοι, οὐδὲ ταῖς τίτθαις.[90] Dion Chrysostom -speaks of its use: ὥσπερ ὑπὸ τίτθης γάλακτι καὶ οἴνῳ καὶ σιτίοις,[91] -but Hippocrates says: ἀμεῖνον εἶναι τοῖς παιδίοισιν τὸν οἶνον ὡς -ὑδαρέστατον διδόναι.[92] After being weaned,[93] children were fed on -milk,[94] and honey.[95] According to Athenaeus, young children thrive -well on the juice of figs.[96] They were also fed on morsels: “αἱ τὰ -παιδία ψωμίζουσι τροφοί.”[97] The practice of first chewing the food -before giving it to the child seems to have been usual, for we have -several allusions to it. Democrates likens the orators to nurses αἱ τὸ -ψώμισμα καταπίνουσαι, τῷ σιάλῳ τὰ παιδία παραλείφουσι,[98] and Sextus -Empiricus has a similar statement: εἰκότως ταῖς τίτθαις, αἱ μικρὸν τοῦ -ψωμίσματος τοῖς παιδίοις διδοῦσαι τὸ ὅλον καταπίνουσι.[99] Nor did it -escape the ridicule of Aristophanes who says: - - καθ’ ὥσπερ αἱ τίτθαι γε σιτίζεις κακῶς - μασώμενος γὰρ τῷ μὲν ὀλίγον ἐντίθης - αὐτὸς δ’ ἐκεῖνον τριπλάσιον κατέσπακας.[100] - -Athenaeus tells the absurd story of a man who had his nurse chew his -food for him all his life: Σάγαριν τὸν Μαριανδυνὸν ὑπὸ τοῦ τρυφῆς -σιτεῖσθε μὲν μέχρι γήρως ἐκ τοῦ τῆς τίτθης στόματος, ἵνα μὴ μασώμενος -πονήσειεν.[101] - - - _The Child in the Nurse’s Arms_ - -In the beautiful idyllic scene of Iliad, vi, 389 ff., where Hector bids -farewell to Andromache and his darling son, it is to the familiar arms -of the nurse that the child turns when frightened by the glancing helm: - - ἂψ δ’ ὁ παὶς πρὸς κόλπον εὐζώνοιο τιθήνης - ἐκλίνθη ἰάχων.[102] - -In those arms he had been carried,[103] and when tired out from his -childish play there he had slept on a soft cushion satisfied with every -comfort: - - αὐτὰρ ὅθ’ ὕπνος ἔλοι, παύσαιτό τε νηπιαχεύων, - εὕδεσκ’ ἐν λέκτροισιν, ἐν ἀγκαλίδεσσι τιθήνης, - εὐνῇ ενι μαλακῇ, θαλέων ἐμπλησάμενος κῆρ.[104] - -In the Odyssey, too, the faithful Eurycleia is spoken of as carrying -Odysseus and laying him in the arms of his grandsire, that the latter -might choose for him a name.[105] The author of the Homeric Hymn to -Demeter puts these words into the mouth of the goddess-nurse: - - καί κεν παῖδα νεογνὸν ἐν ἀγκοίνῃσιν ἔχουσα - καλὰ τιθηνοίμην.[106] - -The nurse in Herodotus carried the child each day to the temple of -Helen.[107] Iphigenia speaking of Orestes says that she left him at home -a young child in the arms of his nurse: - - ἔλιπον ἀγκάλαισι νεαρὸν τροφοῦ.[108] - -At the festival of the Amphidromia, it was the nurse who carried the -child around the hearth;[109] and in the Nurse-festival (τιθηνίδια) at -Sparta, the nurses carried the male children to the temple of -Artemis.[110] We know that nurses walked the floor with fretful children -in order to soothe them. A good instance of this is given in Menander’s -Samia, 26–30 (Capps), where an old nurse fondles a child to her heart’s -content, kissing it and calling it soft names, walking around with it -until it is quieted. “The homeopathic cure of morbid ‘enthusiasm’ by -means of music was, it may be incidentally observed, known to Plato. In -a passage of the Laws,[111] where he is laying down the rules for the -management of infants, his advice is that infants should be kept in -perpetual motion, and live as if they were always tossing at sea. He -proceeds to compare the principle on which religious ecstasy is cured by -a strain of impassioned music, with the method of nurses, who lull their -babes to sleep not by silence but by singing, not by holding them quiet, -but by rocking them in their arms.... An external agitation (κίνησις) is -employed to calm and counteract an internal. But Plato recognized the -principle only as it applied to music and to the useful art of nursing.” - -This perpetual motion used by the nurse is referred to in the -Timaeus,[112] and Aristotle thinks “it is of advantage to have all the -movements made (of the bodies of infants) that it is possible to have -made in the case of creatures so young.”[113] Plato lays down -regulations for the nurses to carry the children into the fields, to the -temples, and on visits to their acquaintances until they are able to -stand alone. He would have them carried until the end of the third year, -lest their limbs should be distorted by standing on them too soon: καὶ -δὴ καὶ τὰς τροφοὺς ἀναγκάζωμεν νόμῳ ζημιοῦντες τὰ παιδία ἢ πρὸς ἀγροὺς ἢ -πρὸς ἱερὰ ἢ πρὸς ὀικείους ἀεί πῃ φέρειν, μέχριπερ ἂν ἱκανῶς ἵστασθαι -δυνατὰ γίγνηται, καὶ τότε διευλαβουμένας, ἔτι νέων ὄντων μή πῃ βίᾳ -ἐπερειδομένων στρέφηται τὰ κῶλα ἐπιπονεῖν φερούσας, ἕως ἂν τριέτες -ἀποτελεσθῇ τὸ γενόμενον;[114] This is doubtless the reason why there is -no mention made of a contrivance to keep the children’s limbs straight -like the “serperastra”[115] in use among the Romans.[116] The Greeks -were careful to develop the body and to have it well-shapen. In the -Pseudo-Plutarchian Essay, De Liberis Educandis, the writer thinks it -necessary for the members of children to be shapen aright as soon as -they are born: ὥσπερ γὰρ τὰ μέλη τοῦ σώματος εὐθὺς ἀπὸ γενέσεως πλάττειν -τῶν τέκνων ἀναγκαῖόν ἐστι.[117] In the De Virtute, the author tells us -that this is the work of the nurses: αἱ τίτθαι ταῖς χερσὶ τὸ σῶμα -πλάττουσι.[118] Plato, speaking of the influence of stories on the minds -of children, says that we must persuade the nurses and the mothers to -form the souls of their children by these stories πολὺ μᾶλλον ἢ τὰ -σώματα ταῖς χερσὶν.[119] This practice continued down to the days of -Galen as is shown from the following: τὰ κῶλα διαπλάττουσι αἱ τροφοὶ τῶν -βρεφῶν ὥσπερ κήρινα.[120] - - - _Cradles_ - -The nurse had various contrivances in which to place the children after -they were lulled to sleep. We read that Alcmena cradled her children in -a shield: - - χάλκειον κατέθηκεν ἐπ’ ἀσπίδα.[121] - -The scholiast on Callimachus, Jove, 48, alluding to this passage of -Theocritus, says that military men were accustomed to place their -children in shields after birth that they might become vigorous and -strong. A specimen of a Greek cradle, that of the infant Hermes, a -little two-handled basket shaped like a shoe, is seen on a vase.[122] -The σκάφη, another kind of cradle, is mentioned as being instrumental in -the ἀναγνώρισις of children: καὶ οἶνον ἐν τῇ Τυροῖ διὰ τῆς σκάφης.[123] -Children were also exposed in a σκάφη: ἐνθέμενος οὖν εἰς σκάφην τὰ -βρέφη.[124] Adrasteia, the nurse of Zeus, lulled him to sleep in a -golden winnowing-fan: - - Λίκνῳ ἐνὶ χρυσέῳ.[125] - -It was considered an omen of future wealth and prosperity to place -children in these λίκνα.[126] Bacchus is called λικνίτης,[127] and is -represented as carried in a λίκνον between a faun and a Bacchante.[128] -Hermes is conceived to have been cradled in the same manner.[129] -Another kind of cradle shown on a vase looks like a bed on rollers,[130] -and answers very well to the description given by Plutarch, Fragm. in -Hesiod, 45: οἷά τισιν εὐκίνητα κλινίδια μεμηχάνηται πρὸς τὴν τῶν παιδίων -εὐνήν. The rocking of the cradle is mentioned by Athenaeus: ἡ τροφὸς ... -ἐτίθει αὐτὸ ἐν σκάφῃ ... ὅτε δὲ κλαίοι ... τὴν σκάφην ἐκίνει καὶ -κατεκοίμιζεν αὐτό.[131] - - - _Amusements Furnished by the Nurse_ - -It was natural for the nurse to amuse the children with the various -kinds of toys in use in antiquity. Of these, both the literature and the -art of Greece furnish many examples. We shall here consider only the -toys which are mentioned in direct connection with the nurse. That the -nurse sometimes made toys for the children, we learn from Apollonius -Rhodius, iii, 131 ff., where the wonderful ball of Zeus τὸ οἷ ποίησε -φίλη τροφὸς Ἀδράστεια is described. The shaking of rattles (κρόταλα) -before children by the nurse is spoken of by Stobaeus,[132] and Pollux -has preserved a passage dealing with the same subject: τὸ κρόταλον καὶ -τὸ σεῖστρον, ᾧ καταβαυκαλῶσιν αἱ τίτθαι ψυχαγωγοῦσαι τὰ δυσυπνοῦντα τῶν -παιδίων.[133] We have a vase-painting which portrays a nurse holding in -her arms a child, while before its face she dandles a fruit.[134] -Plutarch’s little daughter used to ask her nurse to give her dolls the -breast.[135] We learn from Plautus that the nurses took the children to -the theatres: - - Nutrix ... - Me spectatum tulerat per Dionysia.[136] - -And in the Poenulus, the nurses are bidden to refrain from bringing the -children to that play.[137] In Vitruvius’ account of the origin of the -Corinthian Capital, there is mention made of a Corinthian nurse who -gathers in a basket the playthings which had served for the amusement of -her nursling in life, in order to adorn the tomb with them after -death.[138] - - - _General Care Over Children_ - -To keep the child clean and to attend to all its wants were the -principal occupations of the nurse. Cilissa recalls in touching terms -the childhood of her dear nursling whose death she had just learned. She -ran to him by night, at his least cry, anticipating all his wishes and -foreseeing all his needs. Careful for the child’s cleanliness, she -washes its garments and its linen: - - ὃν ἐξέθρεψα μητρόθεν δεδεγμένη, - καὶ νυκτιπλάγκτον ὀρθίων κελευμάτων - καὶ πολλὰ καὶ μοχθήρ’ ἀνωφέλητ’ ἐμοὶ - τλάσῃ. τὸ μὴ φρονοῦν γὰρ ὡσπερεὶ βοτὸν - τρέφειν ἀνάγκη, πῶς γὰρ οὔ; τρόπῳ φρενός· - οὐ γάρ τι φωνεῖ παῖς ἔτ’ ὢν ἐν σπαργάνοις, - εἰ λιμὸς ἢ δίψη τις, ἢ λιψουρία - ἔχει· νέα δὲ νηδὺς αὐτάρκης τέκνων. - τούτων πρόμαντις οὖσα, πολλὰ δ’, οἴομαι, - ψευσθεῖσα παιδὸς σπαργάνων φαιδρύντρια· - γναφεὺς τροφεύς τε ταὐτὸν εἰχέτην τέλος.[139] - -With less vividness Moschio’s nurse recalls the days of his infancy. - - πρώην τοιοῦτον ὄντα Μοσχίων’ ἐγώ, - αὐτὸν ἐτιθηνούμην ἀγαπῶσα, νῦν δ’ ἐπεὶ - παιδίον ἐκείνου γέγονεν.[140] - -Suidas suggests another duty in an anonymous passage: μειράκια, ταῖς -τίτθαις ἀπομύττειν ... ἀποπέμψατε, and the same thing is referred to in -the first book of the Republic: περιορᾷ καὶ οὐκ ἀπομύττει.[141] After -the children were washed and dressed by the nurses, they were brought to -their mothers who took them up and played with them.[142] This fondling -of children is mentioned in Agamemnon: - - πολέα δ’ ἐσχ’ ἐν ἀγκάλαις - νεοτρόφου τέκνου δίκαν.[143] - -and in Orestes: - - καὶ γὰρ μ’ ἔθρεψε σμικρὸν ὄντα, πολλὰ δὲ - φιλήματ’ ἐξέπλησε, τὸν Ἀγαμέμνονος - παῖδ’ ἀγκάλαισι περιφέρων.[144] - -That it was resorted to by the nurses, we gather from Samia, 29 ff., -where we also learn that the nurse used pet names in speaking to the -children. Aeschines says that Demosthenes acquired the nickname βάταλος -from his nurse.[145] - -In learning to walk the children must have had many a tumble; but the -nurse was always at hand to pick them up, and clean them, and tidy their -dress and afterwards find fault with and correct them: καὶ γὰρ αἱ τίτθαι -τοῖς παιδίοις πεσοῦσιν οὐ λοιδορησόμεναι προστρέχουσιν, ἀλλ’ ἤγειραν καὶ -κατέστειλαν, εἶθ’ οὕτως ἐπιπλήττουσι καὶ κολάζουσι.[146] Epictetus -speaks of a nurse beating the stone which had caused a child to -stumble.[147] Philoctetes, miserably crawling along the ground to obtain -food, likens himself to a child without its kind nurse: - - τότ’ ἂν εἰλυόμενος, παῖς ἄτερ ὡς φίλας τίθηνας.[148] - -Plato speaks of a method nurses had of finding out what children want. -When anything is brought to an infant and he is silent, then he is -supposed to be pleased, but when he weeps and cries out, then he is not -pleased.[149] Aristotle thinks that the crying of infants should not be -restrained since it is conducive to their growth: συμφέρουσι γὰρ πρὸς -αὔξησιν,[150] but Plutarch in his De Cohibenda Ira says: ὅπερ οὖν αἱ -τίτθαι πρὸς τὰ παιδία λέγουσι “μὴ κλαῖε καὶ λήψῃ” τοῦτο πρὸς τὸν θυμὸν -οὐκ ἀχρήστως.[151] By means of amulets and charms the nurses sedulously -guarded the children against the pernicious influence of witchcraft and -the evil eye. Demeter, in the Homeric Hymn, promises the mother that no -harm shall come to the child from witchcraft: - - θρέψω, κοὔ μιν ἔολπα κακοφραδίῃσι τιθήνης - οὔτ’ ἄρ’ ἐπηλυσίη δηλήσεται οὔθ’ ὑποτάμνον.[152] - -The amulets were usually of a grotesque character that the sight being -diverted to them should not make so strong an impression on the -child.[153] On the approach of a stranger, a nurse in charge of a -sleeping infant would spit towards him as if to keep off from the child -a possibly evil influence.[154] Another charm against the evil eye is -preserved by St. John Chrysostom: βόρβορον αἱ γυναῖκες ἐν τῷ βαλανείῳ -λαμβάνουσαι τροφοὶ καὶ θεραπαινίδες καὶ τῷ δακτύλῳ χρίσασαι κατὰ τοῦ -πετώπου τυποῦσι τοῦ παιδίου κἂν ἔρηταί τις, τί βούλεται ὁ βόρβορος τὶ δὲ -ὁ πηλός; ὀφθαλμὸν πονηρὸν ἀναστρέφει, φασί, καὶ βασκανίαν καὶ -φθόνον.[155] - -At what age the children left the care of the nurses is not certain. -Chrysippus allows three years to them,[156] and according to Plato, the -boys and girls were separated at six.[157] It seems clear that the boys, -at least, were sent early to school to keep them out of harm’s way: ἐπεὶ -καὶ αἱ τίτθαι τοιάδε λέγουσι περὶ τῶν παιδίων ὡς ἀπιτέον αὐτοῖς ἐς -διδασκάλου. καὶ γὰρ ἂν μηδέπω μαθεῖν ἀγαθόν τι δύνωνται, ἀλλ’ οὖν φαῦλον -οὐδὲν ποιήσουσιν ἐκεῖ μένοντες.[158] - - - _The Nurse and the Grown Daughter_ - -The tie between nurse and child might continue strong in later years. -She often remained in the family as the attendant and sometimes as the -confidante of the young maiden. Thus Nausicaa’s old nurse lights her -fire and prepares her evening meal: - - ἥ οἱ πῦρ ἀνέκαιε καὶ εἴσω δόρπον ἐκόσμει.[159] - -The same nurse who had tended Phaedra as an infant remained in her -service until the death of her mistress. Her devotion, introduced mainly -as a dramatic expedient, is nevertheless lifelike. Indeed it is the -blindness, even to precipitancy, of her love of Phaedra which must be -held accountable for the method employed by her to cure the distemper of -her mistress. This she herself acknowledges in her answer to Phaedra: - - ἔθρεψά σ’ εὔνους τ’ εἰμί· τῆς νόσου δέ σοι - ζητοῦσα φάρμαχ’ ηὗρον οὐχ ἁβουλόμην. - εἰ δ’ εὔ γ’ ἔπραξα, κάρτ’ ἂν ἐν σοφοῖσιν ἦ· - πρὸς τὰς τύχας γὰρ τὰς φρένας κεκτήμεθα.[160] - -We read that the nurse accompanied the young maiden out of doors, -guarded her well, looking askance at admirers who were attracted by the -girl’s beauty: “Thou old nurse of a loved one, why do you bark at me -while approaching you, and harshly throw me into twice as many pains? -For you are leading a very beautiful virgin in whose steps I am -treading. See, how I am going along my own path. It is sweet merely to -look upon her form. What grudging of eyes is there, thou wretched one! -We look upon the forms of even the immortals....”[161] - -Still, she is sometimes the go-between in the maiden’s love affairs, as -in the tale of Acontius and Cydippe.[162] So, too, the old nurse of Hero -dries the tears of her love-sick charge and receives her -confidence.[163] The power and influence of Polyxo, the aged nurse of -Hypsiple, are evidenced by the fact of her being consulted in an affair -of state.[164] That these old nurses were wont to comfort and console -their charges when grown up, we learn from the following: - - ἠύτε κούρη - οἰόθεν ἀσπασίως πολιὴν τροφὸν ἀμφιπεσοῦσα - μύρεται.[165] - - - _The Nurse and the Grown Son_ - -Outside of Homer, we do not find the nurse as actively engaged in duties -towards the grown son as towards the daughter. Eurycleia continued her -care of Telemachus until he came to man’s estate. She accompanied him to -his chamber, folded and smoothed his clothes, and having hung them up, -carefully closed the door after her.[166] She welcomed him as a son on -his return from Pylos,[167] and is sought by him as his faithful -friend.[168] She gently reproved him for having blamed his mother where -there was no blame,[169] yet she was anxious to see him established in -his rights.[170] She is the first to recognize her old master and former -nursling, Odysseus.[171] On the recognition, he addresses her by the old -name of his childhood, μαῖα, which Telemachus also uses.[172] - -The grief of Cilissa for Orestes shows that her love for him had endured -beyond the nursery days.[173] The unfortunate woodcutter in Callimachus’ -Demeter, who had offended the goddess, was bewailed by the nurse by whom -he had been suckled.[174] Moschio’s nurse still retained loving thoughts -of her dear child, Moschio, and was much interested in the son for the -sake of the father.[175] The old nurse in Demosthenes’ In Evergum was -welcomed by her former nursling as a safe companion for his wife during -his absence, and his care of her after the robbery is an evidence of the -esteem in which she was held.[176] A further indication of the love and -gratitude evinced by young men for the nurses of their childhood is -shown in the relatively large number of monuments and epigrams dedicated -to them.[177] - - - _The Nurse in the Household_ - -When the nurse was not occupied with the child, she owed towards the -household, duties which are specifically mentioned in Homer; but not so -clearly defined in later authors. Thus the nurse of Eumaeus is engaged -in washing when she is seduced by the pirates.[178] Eurycleia is the -mainstay of the house in Ithaca, having complete charge of the domestic -arrangements. In the morning, she gives her directions for the day’s -work to the female slaves[179] over whom she has joint supervision with -the mistress.[180] These, she taught how to perform the various works of -the house—making beds, strewing couches, carding wool, setting tables -and cleaning rooms. Besides, she is the stewardess of the household: - - ἐν δὲ γυνὴ ταμίη νύκτας τε καὶ ἦμαρ - ἔσχ’, ἣ πάντ’ ἐφύλασσε νόου πολυιδρείῃσιν, - Εὐρύκλει’, Ὦπος θυγάτηρ Πεισηνορίδαο.[181] - -and to her Telemachus applies for provisions for his journey.[182] It is -characteristic of her to keep the best wine against the homecoming of -Odysseus.[183] - -Demeter enumerates the duties incumbent on a nurse in addition to her -nursing cares: - - οἷαί τε τροφοί εἰσι θεμιστοπόλων βασιλήων - παίδων καὶ ταμίαι κατὰ δώματα ἠχήεντα. - · · · · · - ... καὶ δώματα τηρήσαιμι, - καί κε λέχος στορέσαιμι μυχῷ θαλάμων εὐπήκτων - δεσπόσυνον, καὶ κ’ ἔργα διδασκήσαιμι γυναῖκας.[184] - -They are substantially the same as those of Eurycleia. - -So far as we can see, the nurse of Tragedy is occupied almost -exclusively with the mistress. The nurse of Medea, however, affects a -superior tone in speaking to the παιδαγωγός,[185] and gives him -directions concerning the children.[186] In a similar way the nurse of -Comedy seems to have authority over some of the servants.[187] - - - _General Characteristics of the Nurse_ - -Instances of the love and devotedness of nurses are not wanting in the -literature. From Homer down, we see the nurse as a kind mother lavishing -love and affection on the child that she nursed. In the Odyssey, -Eurycleia is represented as loving Telemachus more than did the other -women: - - καὶ ἔτρεφε τυτθὸν ἐόντα.[188] - -and Penelope bears witness that Eurycleia had diligently nursed and -tended Odysseus: - - εὐ τρέφεν ἤδ’ ἀτίταλλε.[189] - -Right willingly did the old nurse give her services to one who reminded -her of her master. She is the first to recognize him by the scar he had -received in his youth. Then - - τὴν δ’ ἅμα χάρμα καὶ ἄλγος ἕλε φρένα, τὼ δέ οἱ ὄσσε - δακρυόφι πλῆσθεν, θαλερὲ δέ οἱ ἔσχετο φωνή.[190] - -A picture of true devotedness is given by Herodotus,[191] where a nurse -takes an ugly child every day to the temple of Helen to implore the gift -of beauty for her charge. - -Stesichorus[192] and Pindar[193] assert that it was the nurse who saved -Orestes from his mother after his father’s murder. Aeschylus calls her -Cilissa, and points her out to us as full of love and devotedness for -the child.[194] Such is the devotion of Medea’s nurse for her mistress -that the old παιδαγωγός is surprised to see her outside the place -without Medea.[195] The nurse in the Trachiniae shows real grief for the -fate of her mistress,[196] while Phaedra’s nurse attributes her unwise -action to excess of love,[197] and Hypsipyle’s nursling is as dear to -her as her own child.[198] Fidelity is the attribute which characterizes -Aristophanes’ πιστὴ τροφός.[199] A good instance of the nurse’s care for -the child is given in Menander, where an old nurse, seeing a child -crying and neglected, goes up to it and says: “My darling, and my -precious, and where is Mama?” She then kisses it and walks about with it -until it stops crying, when she says to herself, “Ah me, it seems but -yesterday I was nursing that dear child, Moschio, and now that a child -is born to him!” Then to a young girl who comes running in from outside: -“Bathe the child, can’t you? What is this? Is it because it is his -father’s wedding day that you have no care of the little one?”[200] - -Examples of tender attachment are also met with in real life. -Demosthenes furnishes a typical illustration in Oration, xlvii. “I -explained to the interpreters the attachment of the woman to our family, -the cause of my having her in my house, and that she had lost her life -in the defense of my property. She had no kind of family connection with -me, except that she had been my nurse.” - -In contrast to these, we have but few instances of unkindness on the -part of the nurse. However, the perversity of human nature is -exemplified in the illustration Plutarch gives: “For nurses, who are -often rubbing the dirt off their infants, sometimes tear the flesh and -put them to torture.”[201] This contrary note is again struck in -Stobaeus,[202] where the lack of skill and teasing humor of some nurses -is portrayed. The child is hungry, the nurse obliges it to sleep; it is -thirsty, she gives it a bath; it is sleepy, she keeps it awake by -shaking rattles in its ears. Aristophanes, too, does not spare those -nurses who rob their nurslings of a part of their meal.[203] Though the -chattering[204] and tippling propensities[205] of the nurse are -sometimes referred to, we do not read that they led her to neglect the -child. In fact, neglect and unkindness to children are not -characteristic of the Greek nurse as popularly conceived. Of this we -have ample evidence from the number of metaphors employed in the -literature wherein the nurse figures and always in a good sense. One’s -fatherland is frequently called a nurse, since the care and nurture -bestowed on a man by his country is like that given the child by the -nurse. We read of the much-nourishing nurse, Greece (Ἑλλάδος ἀμητῆρα -πολυθρέπτοιο τιθήνης);[206] your motherland, most beloved nurse (γῇ τε -μητρί, φιλτάτῃ τροφῷ;)[207] this, thy country, nursed thee: - - (οὔτ’ ἐννομ’ εἶπας οὐτε προσφιλὲς πόλει - τῇδ’, ἥ σ’ ἔθρεψε, τήνδ’ ἀποστερῶν φάτιν;)[208] - -Apollo may love me as caring for his dear nurse, i. e. the island of -Delos (Κύνθιος αἰνήσῃ με φίλης ἀλέγοντα τιθήνης),[209] and many other -examples. The dinner table is styled the nurse of life (βίου -τιθήνη).[210] The dove keeping the snake from her brood is an -all-attentive nurse: - - (δράκοντες ὥς τις τέκνων - ὑπερδέδοικεν λεχαίων δυσευνάτορας - πάντροφος πελειάς.)[211] - -The fountains are called the nurses of Bacchus, because the water being -mingled with the wine increased the quantity of the wine.[212] - -Thus we find that in the performance of her fourfold office towards -child, grown daughter, grown son, and household, the nurse exhibited a -tender devotion towards the family in which she lived and especially -towards the members of it who had been the former objects of her care. - - - - - CHAPTER IV - NURSERY TALES AND LULLABIES - - -The importance of the nurse in Greek life may be judged from the fact -that to her as well as to the mother was entrusted the early education -of the child. Quintilian quoting Chrysippus, whose treatise on Greek -education has unfortunately been lost, says: “Those advise better who -like Chrysippus think that no part of a child’s life should be exempt -from education. For Chrysippus, though he has allowed three years to the -nurses, yet is of the opinion that the minds of children may be imbued -with excellent instruction even by them.”[213] The same author wishes -nurses to be women of some knowledge. At any rate, they should be the -best circumstances allow.[214] If we can judge from Republic, 343 _a_, -the nurse taught the children to distinguish between ordinary words: -εἰπέ μοι, ἔφη, ὦ Σώκρατες, τίτθη σοι ἔστιν;... ὅτι τοί σε, ἔφη, -κορυζῶντα περιορᾷ καὶ οὐκ ἀπομύττει δεόμενον, ὅς γε αὐτῇ οὐδὲ πρόβατα -οὐδὲ ποιμένα γιγνώσκεις. - -The first lessons of the nurse were imparted by means of stories and -songs, when children were not of an age to learn gymnastic. Of this -Plato makes mention in the following passage: οὐ μανθάνεις, ἦν δ’ ἐγώ, -ὅτι πρῶτον τοῖς παιδίοις μύθοις λεγόμενον; τοῦτο δέ που ὡς τὸ ὅλον -εἰπεῖν ψεῦδος, ἔνι δὲ καὶ ἀληθῆ. πρότερον δὲ μύθοις πρὸς τὰ παιδία ἢ -γυμνασίοις χρώμεθα.[215] Furthermore, he would have mothers and nurses -mould the minds of the children by means of these tales: πείσομεν τὰς -τροφούς τε καὶ μητέρας πλάττειν τὰς ψυχὰς αὐτῶν τοῖς μύθοις πόλυ μᾶλλον -ἢ τὰ σώματα ταῖς χερσίν.[216] - -In ancient literature, however, we find only isolated traces of nursery -tales which may perhaps be accounted for by the contempt with which the -Greeks regarded this form of literature, an inference drawn from -Socrates’ answer to Hippias: σοι χαίρουσιν οἱ Λακεδαιμόνιοι, ἅτε πολλὰ -εἰδότι· καὶ χρῶνται ὥσπερ ταῖς πρεσβύτισιν οἱ παῖδες πρὸς τὸ ἡδέως -μυθολογῆσαι.[217] More emphatic is his answer to Gorgias: τάχα δ’ οὖν -ταῦτα μῦθος σοι δοκεῖ λέγεσθαι, ὥσπερ γραός· καὶ καταφρονεῖς αὐτῶν.[218] -In a similar strain writes Lucian: ἔτι σοι γραῶν μῦθοι τὰ λεγόμενα -ἐστι.[219] Disconnected as are the allusion to nursery tales and -notwithstanding the contempt in which they were held, we have sufficient -evidence to prove their existence and suggest their character. - -Nurses had many ways of acting on the imaginations of their young -charges in order to secure their obedience, to quiet them or put them in -good humor. The choice of the tales depended on the nurse and on the -intelligence of the children whom they nursed διὰ μυθολογίας,[220] and -quieted again by tales after they had beaten them: καθάπερ αἱ τίτθαι τὰ -παιδία, ἐπειδὰν αὐτοῖς πληγὰς ἐμβάλωσι παραμυθούμεναι καὶ χαριζόμεναι -μῦθον αὐτοῖς ὕστερον διηγήσαντο.[221] This recounting of tales is also -mentioned by Philostratus: καὶ καταμυθολόγει με ἡ τίτθη χαριέντως.[222] - -As a substitute for the sandal, which according to Lucian[223] was -energetically applied, they sometimes told the children stories of an -awe-inspiring character. The time-honored bogey was always in -requisition to frighten them into good behavior, while there were tales -of a pleasing character for the good children. These two classes of -tales which we may designate as protreptic and apotropaic are clearly -defined by Strabo in the following passage: τοῖς τε γὰρ παισὶ -προσφέρομεν τοὺς ἡδεῖς μύθους εἰς προτροπὴν εἰς ἀποτροπὴν δὲ τοὺς -φοβερούς.[224] - -We shall first consider the apotropaic tales, or bogeys. Of these, the -most frequently mentioned is Lamia who is so intimately connected with -the domain of fable that Plutarch called Demetrius Μῦθος because the -name of his mistress was Lamia: Δημοχάρης δὲ ὁ Σόλιος τὸν Δημήτριον -ἐκάλει Μῦθον· εἶναι γὰρ αὐτῷ καὶ Λαμίαν (Λάμιαν).[225] - -From Diodorus we learn that she was of Libya: τίς τοὔνομα ἐπονείδιστον -βροτοῖς οὐκ οἶδε Λαμίας τῆς Λιβυστικῆς γένος.[226] The Scholiast on -Aristophanes, Peace, 758, says that she was a Libyan woman with whom -Zeus consorted, not without the knowledge of Hera, who being jealous, -destroyed Lamia’s children. When they were killed and she was -overburdened, Lamia killed the children of others.[227] Therefore, -nurses called Lamia to them to frighten children. And the story is told -how she by the counsel of Hera passed her life sleepless, so that day -and night she was in continual pain, until Zeus taking pity on her made -her eyes removable.[228] Plutarch thus speaks of her in De Curiositate: -νῦν δὲ ὥσπερ ἐν τῷ μύθῳ τὴν Λάμιαν λέγουσιν· οἴκοι μὲν ᾄδειν τυφλήν, ἐν -ἀγγείῳ τινι τοὺς ὀφθαλμοὺς ἔχουσαν ἀποκειμένους ἔξω δὲ προιοῦσαν -ἐπιτίθεσθαι καὶ βλέπειν. Her singing would attract children to her abode -but they had a chance to escape when her eyes were ἐν ἀγγείῳ.[229] - -The fear which children had for the Lamia is referred to by Lucian in a -passage where he is speaking of the stories told to children: μυθίδια -παίδων ψυχὰς κηλεῖν δυνάμενα ἔτι τὴν Μορμὼ καὶ τὴν Λάμιαν δεδιότων.[230] -She was said to devour children alive. Whence Horace: “Neu pransae Lamia -vivum puerum extrabat alvo.”[231] Philostratus represents her as a -monster, possessing the blood-sucking reputation of the vampire.[232] -Dionysius of Halicarnassus mentions her in a passage in which he is -treating of the fables of earlier historians: Λαμίας τινὰς ἱστοροῦντες -ἐν ὕλαις καὶ νάπαις ἐκ γῆς ἀνιεμένας, καὶ ναΐδας ἀμφιβίους ἐκ ταρτάρων -ἐξιούσας καὶ διὰ πελάγους νηχομένας καὶ μιξόθερας, καὶ ταύτας εἰς -ὁμιλίαν ἀνθρώποις συνερχομένας.[233] - -Lamia plays an important part in modern Greek nursery tales, where she -is portrayed as a monster, hideous and deformed, hungry for human flesh, -partaking of the nature of the Harpy, the Gorgon, and the Empusa.[234] -Belief in her is so common in Greece that Wachsmuth says when a child -dies suddenly they say: τὸ παιδὶ τὸ ἔπνιξε ἡ Λάμια.[235] - -With Lamia, Strabo groups: Γοργὼ καὶ ὁ Ἐφιάλτης καὶ ἡ Μορμολύκη.[236] -That the hideous aspect of the Gorgon was used as a bugbear, may be -gathered from Aristophanes, Acharnians, 582, where Lammachus is bidden -to take away his shield which has the Gorgon for a device: ἀπένεγκε μου -τὴν μορμόνα. As if the speaker said: “Take away the representation of -the Gorgon which strikes terror into me, as μορμώ does into children.” -Mormolyke is called the nurse of Acheron, husband of Gorgyce by -Sophron.[237] The significance of the name is derived from μορμολύκεια, -the general term for “bogey” of which Plato, speaking of the fear of -death, says: μὴ δεδιέναι τὸν θάνατον, ὥσπερ τὰ μορμολύκεια.[238] - -To the apotropaic nursery tales belong also the stories of Acco and -Alphito which are classed together by Plutarch: τῆς Ἀκκοῦς καὶ τῆς -Ἀλφιτοῦς δ’ ὦν τὰ παιδάρια τοῦ κακοσχολεῖν αἱ γυναῖκες ἀνείργουσιν.[239] -According to Hesychius the word Acco is etymologically connected with -ἀσκός and ἀκκόρ, so that by Acco was originally meant a bugbear which -carried off naughty children in a bag. In a similar manner Alphito, from -ἄλφιτα is explained. - -Another favorite of the nurses was Gello: δαίμων ἣν γυναῖκες τὰ νεογνὰ -παιδία φασὶν ἁρπάζειν. (Hesychius.) Zenobius, iii, 3, explaining the -proverb, Γελλὼ παιδοφιλωτέρα, says of her: Γελλὼ γάρ τις ἦν παρθένος, -καὶ ἐπειδὴ ἀώρως ἐτελεύτησε, φασὶν οἱ Λέσβιοι αὐτῆς τὸ φάντασμα -ἐπιφοιτᾶν ἐπὶ τὰ παιδία, καὶ τοὺς τῶν ἀώρων θανάτους αὐτῇ ἀνατιθέασι. -Μέμνηται ταύτης Σαπφώ.[240] Hesychius also styles her εἴδωλον Ἐμπούσης. -The Empusa here referred to is placed in the same category with Lamia -and Mormolyke: ἡ χρηστὴ νύμφη μία τῶν Ἐμπουσῶν ἐστιν, ἃς Λαμίας τε καὶ -μορμολοκίας οἱ πολλοὶ ἡγοῦνται.[241] She possessed the property of -assuming any form she pleased: “For they were travelling by a bright -moonlight when the figure of an empusa or hobgoblin appeared to them -that changed from one form into another until finally it vanished into -nothing.”[242] According to the Scholiast on Apollonius Rhodius, iii, -860, Hecate often sends out ghosts, the so-called Ἑκαταῖρα and often -changes her form, wherefore she is called Empusa. Aeschines’ mother -acquired the nickname Empusa ἐκ τοῦ πάντα ποιεῖν,[243] according to the -Scholiast πάντα τὰ αἰσχρὰ καὶ ἀνόσια. - -Another bogey was the Strigla, the Roman Strix (Mod. Greek στρίγλαις), -of which mention is made in a fragment of an ancient nursery song: - - Στρίγγ’ ἀποπομπεῖν νυκτιβόαν, στρίγγ’ ἀπὸ λαῶν, - ὄρνιν ἀνωνυμίαν ὠκυπόρους ἐπὶ νῆας.[244] - -The wolf had also its place in this literature, since its name was used -in the same manner as the bugbears mentioned above: - - Ἄγροικος ἠπείλησε νηπίῳ τίτθη - κλαίοντι ‘Παῦσι· μή σε τῷ λύκῳ ῥίψω.’[245] - -A good example of the way in which children were frightened by these -bogeys is given in Theocritus, where Praxinoe who wants to go out to the -Adonis festival says to the child who runs after her crying: - - οὐκ ἄξω τυ, τέκνον· Μορμώ, δάκνει ἵππος· - δάκρυε, ὅσσα θέλεις· χωλὸν δ’ οὐ δεῖ σε γένεσθαι.[246] - -Another instance is given by Callimachus in the Hymn to Artemis, where -he tells that when a mother in Olympus cannot get her daughter to obey -her, she calls one of the Cyclopes, and the indefatigable Hermes appears -immediately with his face smeared with soot to personate the Cyclops. -Then the child hastens in fright to her mother and puts her head on her -bosom: - - ἀλλ’ ὅτε κουράων τις ἀπειθέα μητέρι τεύχε, - μήτηρ μὲν Κύκλωπας ἑῇ ἐπὶ παιδὶ καλιστρεῖ, - Ἄργην, ἢ Στερόπην· ὁ δὲ δώματος ἐκ μυχάτοιο, - ἔρχεται Ἑρμείης σποδίῃ κεχρημένος αἴθῃ. - αὐτίκα τὴν κούρην μορμύσσεται.[247] - -The Scholion on this passage says: καταπληκτικὰ φοβερά. ἐκ μεταφορᾶς τῆς -μορμοῦς τὰ βρέφη φοβούσης.[248] The μορμώ here spoken of was a woman of -horrible and monstrous aspect which Hesychius calls τὸ φόβητρον τοῖς -παιδίοις. Xenophon likens the fear of the allies to that which young -children have for μορμώ: οἱ μὲν Λακεδαιμόνιοι ἐπισκώπτειν ἐτόλμων ὡς οἱ -σύμμαχοι φοβοῖντο τοὺς πελταστὰς, ὥσπερ μορμόνας παιδάρια.[249] -Aristophanes also makes use of this word: - - οὐδὲν δέομεθ’, ὦνθρωπε, τῆς σῆς μόρμονος.[250] - ὀφρῦς ἔχοντα καὶ λόφους, δείν’ ἄττα μορμορωπὰ.[251] - ὡς δὴ καταπιόμενός με. μορμὼ τοῦ θράσους.[252] - -Such were the tales told by nurses to frighten children into good -behavior. We cannot but think that these stories, although they secured -obedience for the time being, must have had a deleterious effect on the -children. This view is substantiated by a passage of Lucian: “If you do -not want to fill these boys’ heads with ghosts and hobgoblins, postpone -your grotesque horrors for a more suitable occasion. Have some mercy on -the lads: do not accustom them to listen to a tangle of superstitious -stuff that will cling to them for the rest of their lives and make them -start at their own shadow.”[253] - -What the children naturally preferred to these threats were the stories -told to put them to sleep or to amuse them—the protreptic tales. The -nurses had a store of such tales, and γραῶν or τιτθῶν μῦθοι have grown -into a proverb.[254] - -The subject matter of these tales was the actions of the gods and heroes -of mythology: γεγονὼς αὐτὸς ἐκ Διός τε καὶ τῆς τοῦ δήμου ἀρχηγέτου -θυγατρός· ἅπερ αἱ γραῖαι ᾄδουσι.[255] Hence the telling of them might -have the greatest influence on the moral education of the children. -Plato, therefore, enlarges on the care to be taken in their selection, -so that the children might not receive immoral impressions and false -ideas: ἆρ’ οὖν ῥᾳδίως οὕτω παρήσομεν τοὺς ἐπιτυχόντας ὑπὸ τῶν -ἐπιτυχόντων μύθους πλασθέντας ἀκούειν τοὺς παῖδας καὶ λαμβάνειν ἐν ταῖς -ψυχαῖς ὡς ἐπὶ τὸ πολὺ ἐναντίας δόξας ἐκείναις, ἄς ἐπειδὰν τελεωθῶσιν, -ἔχειν οἰησόμεθα δεῖν αὐτούς;[256] He therefore establishes a censorship -of the writers of fiction, and rejects even Hesiod and Homer: πρῶτον δὴ -ἡμῖν, ὡς ἔοικεν, ἐπιστατητέον τοῖς μυθοποιοῖς, καὶ ὃν μὲν ἂν καλὸν -ποιήσωσιν, ἐγκριτέον, ὃν δ’ ἂν μή, ἀποκριτέον. τοὺς δ’ ἐγκριθέντας -πείσομεν τὰς τροφούς τε καὶ μητέρας λέγειν τοῖς παισί.[257] As a matter -of fact, all sins that men could commit were imputed to the gods by -these poets.[258] - -The story of Zeus who thrust his father from the throne would teach -children disloyalty to parents,[259] while his amorous connections with -goddesses and mortals could not but have a pernicious effect on young -minds. Plutarch thinks nurses should be restrained in the selection of -these tales: μὴ τοὺς τυχόντας μύθους τοῖς παιδίοις λέγειν, ἵνα μὴ τὰς -τούτων ψυχὰς ἐξ ἀρχῆς ἀνοίας καὶ διαφθορᾶς ἀναπίμπλασθαι συμβαίνῃ,[260] -and Aristotle wishes to place these matters under the supervision of the -Paedonomoi: καὶ περὶ λόγων τε καὶ μύθων ποίους τινὰς ἀκούειν δεῖ τοὺς -τηλικούτους ἐπιμελὲς ἔστω τοῖς ἄρχουσιν, οὓς καλοῦσι παιδονόμους.[261] - -On the other hand, ancient mythology is so full of humor and imagination -and so rich in amusing adventures, that many of these same stories might -do excellent service to-day as nursery tales. For example, the story of -the inventiveness of Hermes even in his cradle, the adventures of -Odysseus, the labors of Hercules, and many others would furnish -enjoyment to many a child.[262] - -Philostratus records that nurses made use of the tale of Theseus and -Ariadne: ὅτι τὴν Ἀριάδνην ὁ Θησεὺς ἄδικα δρῶν κατέλιπεν ἐν Δίᾳ τῇ νήσῳ -καθεύδουσα τάχαν, του καὶ τίτθης διάκησας, σοφαὶ γὰρ ἐκεῖναι τὰ τοιαῦτα -καὶ δακρύουσεν ἐπ’ αὐτοῖς ὅταν ἐθελωσιν.[263] - -The magic rings which Timolous wishes for in Lucian, seem to have been -borrowed from a nursery tale,[264] and the story of the ring of Gyges, -which rendered its wearer invisible, contains elements of the nursery -tale.[265] Stories told for comfort and consolation are alluded to by -Euripides, where Amphitryon counsels Megara to tell tales to the -children disturbed over their father’s absence: - - ἀλλ’ ἡσύχαζε καὶ δακρυρρόους τέκνων - πηγὰς ἀφαίρει καὶ παρευκήλαι λόγοις, - κλέπτουσα μύθοις ἀθλίνους κλοπὰς ὅμως.[266] - -At the festival of the Oschophoria, the telling of old fables and tales -to children was part of the ritual.[267] - -The style characteristic of modern nursery tales was in vogue in -classical times, as we learn from Aristophanes where the first words of -a tale correspond to our well-known “Once upon a time.” - - οὕτω ποτ’ ἦν μῦς καὶ γαλῆ.[268] - -The Scholiast commenting on this line says: πρὸς τὴν συνήθειαν, ὅτι τὸν -μῦθον προέταττον οὕτως, οἷον, ἦν οὕτω γέρων καὶ γραῦς. καὶ Πλάτων ἐν -Φαίδρῳ (237 B) ἦν οὕτω δὴ παῖς μᾶλλον δὲ μειρακίσκος· τούτῳ δ’ ἦσαν -ἐράσται πάνυ πολλοί. There is another instance in Lysistrata, where the -semi-choruses, telling each other a little nursery tale begin: - - οὕτως ἦν πότε ...... - οὕτω ........[269] - -The purpose of all these tales is training to virtue, and is well -expressed by the Scholiast on Hermogenes, Progymnasmata, i.e.: τὸν μῦθον -ἀξιοῦσι προσάγειν τοῖς νεοῖς ὅτι τὰς ψυχὰς αὐτῶν πρὸς τὸ βέλτιον -ῥυθμίζειν δύναται. - -We conclude that there was at Athens a store of popular tales for the -amusement of children, many of which were attributed to Aesop whom -Herodotus calls λογοποιός.[270] The word λογοποιός seems to indicate -that a prose version of his fables may have circulated in Athens in the -time of Socrates.[271] What is certain, however, is that these tales -were very much enjoyed and that Socrates himself versified some of -them.[272] The so-called Aesopic tales began “Aesop said.”[273] Other -tales were classified as Libyan, Cyprian and Sybaritic, distinguishable -by the opening words: “A man (or a woman) of Sybaris (or of Libya or of -Cypris) said.”[274] A further distinction between the fables of Aesop -and those of Sybaris is that the latter were political and about men; -the former, ethical and about animals.[275] A Λιβυκὸς μῦθος is mentioned -by Dion Chrysostom employed to calm children after they had been -chastised.[276] - - - LULLABIES - -Allied to the nursery tales are the lullabies of the nurses “aussi vieux -que le monde et qui dureront autant que lui,”[277] which Athenaeus calls -καταβαυκαλήσεις: αἱ δὲ τῶν τιτθενουσῶν ᾠδαὶ καταβαυκαλήσεις -ὀνομάζονται.[278] They are also called βαυκαλήματα[279] from βαυκαλάω -“to lull to sleep” onomatopoetically formed from the nurse’s song. Plato -refers to them in the Laws where he says that when mothers and nurses -are desirous to put their children to sleep, they do not bring them to a -state of quiet, but on the contrary of motion, καὶ οὐ σιγήν, ἀλλά τινα -μελῳδίαν.[280] - -The following passage from Aristotle seems to indicate that they were -simple melodies without words, sung to a certain rhythm: διὰ τί ῥυθμῷ -καὶ μέλει καὶ ὅλως ταῖς συμφωνίαις χαίρουσι πάντες; ἢ ὅτι ταῖς κατὰ -φύσιν κινήσεσι χαίρομεν κατὰ φύσιν; σημεῖον δὲ τὸ τὰ παιδία εὐθὺς -γεγόμενα χαίρειν αὐτοῖς.[281] - -Chrysippus assigns a peculiar tune for the lullabies of nurses.[282] -Sextus Empiricus very appropriately styles them a metrical humming -(ἐμμέλης μινύρισμα).[283] It is probable also that to these melodies, -the nurses adapted improvised words, as we do. This view is borne out by -the fact that certain specimens exist which are imitations or -elaborations of those really in use at the time they were written. The -Lullaby of Alcmena in Theocritus is an instance: - - εὕδετ’ ἐμὰ βρέφεα γλυκερὸν καὶ ἐγέρσιμον ὕπνον· - εὕδετ’ ἐμὰ ψυχὰ, δύ’ ἀδελφεὼ, εὔσοα τέκνα· - ὄλβιοι εὐνάζοισθε, καὶ ὄλβιοι ᾀῶ ἵκεσθαι.[284] - -The melody of these lines is beautiful; the crooning sound of the open -vowels in the first two, the rounded refrain of the last, with its -repeated ὄλβιοι and rhyming halves give it all the characteristics of a -lullaby.[285] - -Not less beautiful are Simonides’ lines in the fragment called “The -Lament of Danae.” While tossed about by the waves, she sings her child -to sleep with these words: - - κέλομαι εὗδε βρέφος, εὑδέτω, δὲ πόντος, - εὑδέτω δ’ ἀμέτερον κακόν. - μεταβολία δὲ τὶς φανείῃ Ζεῦ πάτερ, ἐκ σέο. - ὅττι δέ θαρσαλέον ἔπος - εὔχομαι καὶ νόσφι δίκας, συγγνωθί μοι.[286] - -The spirit of rest which pervades the song of the chorus to the -sorely-suffering Philoctetes suggests the lullaby: - - ὕπν’ ὀδύνας ἀδαὴς, ὕπνε δ’ ἀλγέων, - εὐαδὲς ἡμῖν ἔλθοις, - εὐαίων, εὐαίων, ὦναξ· - ὄμμασι δ’ ἀντίσχοις - τὰν δ’ αἴγλαν, ἃ τέταται τὰ νῦν.[287] - -Finally, we have another recollection of the nurse’s song in Orestes: - - πότνια, πότνια νύξ, - ὑπνοδότειρα τῶν πολυτόνων βροτῶν, - ἐρεβόθεν ἴθι, μόλε μόλε κατάπτερος - τὸν Ἀγαμεμνόνιον ἐπὶ δόμον. - ὑπὸ γὰρ ἀλγέων ὑπό τε συμφορᾶς - δ’ διοιχόμεθ’, οἰχόμεθα. κτύπον ἠγάγετ’· οὐχὶ σῖγα - σῖγα φυλασσομένα στόματος - ἄνα κέλαδον ἀπὸ λέχεος ἥ- - συχον ὕπνου χάριν παρέξεις, φίλα;[288] - -These are but the traces of a class of songs, which without doubt were -employed by the Greek mothers and nurses to lull the children to sleep. -From the very nature of these songs, it is highly improbable that any -lullaby should survive in the literature. - - - - - CHAPTER V - MONUMENTS TO THE NURSE - - -The relations between nurse and master were of that sacred character -which cease not with death. Her sincere and tender affection was not -only repaid during life by the master’s solicitude for her well-being; -but after death her memory was frequently perpetuated by the erection of -monuments. - -The unearthing of many of these has proved a fertile source of -information concerning the nurse. Her name, sometimes her parentage, and -even details of her life and virtues find expression in the sepulchral -inscriptions. - -The commonest form of grave-stone erected to the memory of the nurse is -the “Stele”, a horizontal grave-relief more or less ornamented, and -usually representing the nurse seated, bidding farewell to her master or -mistress. Conze in his _Die attischen Grabreliefs_ describes several of -these. - -The nurse Melitta, daughter of Apollodorus, the metic, is honored by a -monument erected by her master, Hippostrates, who is also represented on -the relief. Beneath is the following inscription: - - Ἐνθάδε τὴν χρηστὴν τίτθην κατὰ γαῖαν καλύπτει - Ἱπποστράτης· καὶ νῦν ποθεῖ σε. - καὶ ζῶσάν σ’ ἐφίλουν, τίτθη, καὶ νῦν σ’ ἔτι τιμῶ - οὖσαν καὶ κατὰ γῆς, καὶ τιμήσω σε ἄχρι ἂν ζῶ· - οἶδα δὲ σοι ὅτι καὶ κατὰ γῆς, εἴπερ χρηστοῖς γέρας ἐστίν, - πρώτει σοι τιμαί, τίτθη, παρὰ Φερσεφόνει - Πλούτονί τε κεῖνται.[289] - -This inscription bears witness to the virtues of the nurse and the fond -relations which must have existed between her and her master, for having -loved her during life, he yearns for her when she is no more, and -promises to honor her as long as he lives, thus uniting with those great -honors which must necessarily be paid her in Hades, if there be there -any honor paid the good. - -The “Stele” of Malicha of Cytherea, the Spartan nurse of the children of -Diogeitus, is engraved with an inscription bearing witness to her -goodness: - - Ἐνθάδε γῆ κατέχει τίτθην παίδων - Διογείτου ἐκ Πελοποννήσου τήνδε δικαιοτάτην - Μαλίχα Κυθηρία.[290] - -The epithet χρηστή so often seen on the monuments finds place on those -of nurses. Thus the combination τίτθη χρηστή,[291] to which is sometimes -added the name of the nurse, occurs: Παίδευσις τίτθη χρηστή,[292] -Πυῤῥίχη τροφὸς χρηστή.[293] Sometimes the name of the nurse and the word -τίτθη are found, as Δημητρίᾳ τίτθῃ,[294] Χοιρίνη τίτθη,[295] Φιλύρα -τίτθη,[296] and there are instances where the simple word τίτθη or -τείτθη occurs.[297] Then too, the name of the nurse’s country is -sometimes mentioned in the inscription: Φάνιον Κορινθία τίτθη[298] and -also that of her nursling: Ῥωξάνη Ζωπύρου Ἁλειέως τίτθη.[299] Βιότη -Λύσωνος Ἁμαξαντέως τροφός.[300] In these inscriptions τροφός is less -frequently used for “nurse” than τίτθη. - -Besides the monuments erected especially to nurses, we often find the -nurse shown on the grave-relief of a mother in the act of handing the -child to her for the last farewell,[301] or holding in her arms a young -child enveloped in swaddling clothes.[302] The representation of the -nurse in this connection is quite in keeping with her relations towards -the family during the sad hours which preceded the burial. While the -immediate members of the family were considered as the chief mourners, -they did not look upon it as a condescension to allow the sympathetic -heart of the nurse to unite its share of grief with theirs.[303] - -In addition to the sepulchral inscriptions mentioned above, we have -literary evidence of the existence of other monuments in honor of -nurses. Theocritus furnishes the following: - - ὁ μικκὸς τόδ’ ἔτευξε τᾲ Θραΐσσᾳ, - Μήδειος τὸ μνᾶμ’ ἐπὶ τᾷ ὁδῷ κηπέγραψε Κλείτας - ἕξει τὰν χάριν ἁ γυνὰ ἀντὶ τήνων - ὧν τὸν κοῦρον ἔθρεψε. τί μάν; ἔτι χρησίμα καλεῖται.[304] - -The use of χρησίμα in the last line is in accordance with the custom -referred to before.[305] - -Less complimentary to the nurse is the following selection from the -Anthology, ascribed to Dioscuridus: - - Τὴν τίτθην Ἱέρων Σειληνίδα, τὴν, ὅτι πίνοι - Ζωρὸν, ὑπ’ οὐδεμιῆς θλιβουμένην κύλικος, - Ἀγρῶν ἐντὸς ἔθηκεν, ἵν’ ἡ φιλάκρητος ἐκείνη - Καὶ φθιμένη, ληνῶν γείτονα τύμβον ἔχη.[306] - -The unfortunate weakness of this nurse was made a subject of jest with -the comic poets.[307] - -But more in keeping with the true character of the nurse is Callimachus’ -epigram, wherein he commemorates the goodness of the Phrygian nurse -Aeschra, to whose memory her master set up her statue in token of -gratitude for her nurture: - - Τὴν Φρυγίην Αἴσχρην, ἀγαθὸν γάλα, πᾶσιν ἐν ἐσθλοῖς - Μίκκος καὶ ζωὴν οὖσαν ἐγηροκόμει, - Καὶ φθιμένην ἀνέθηκεν, ἐπ’ ἐσσομένοισιν ὁρᾶσθαι, - Ἡ γρῆυς μαστῶν ὡς ἀπέχει χάριτας.[308] - -Thus from the study of the inscriptions, as well as from the literature, -we learn that the Greeks had for those devoted women who stood to them -in place of mother, a tender attachment which often continued all -through life; and even after the nurse’s death they sought to give some -expression to it by writing epitaphs and erecting monuments to their -memory. - - - - - BIBLIOGRAPHY - - - I.

Y., 1914, p. 139), objects - to this on the ground that “nothing indicates that she (Eurycleia) - ever bore a child and could have served as a wet-nurse.” The words - εὐνῇ δ’ οὔ ποτ’ ἔμικτο (Od. I, 433) merely show that Eurycleia was not - the concubine of Laertes, and not that she was childless. Dolius, the - slave, had a wife and family in the household of Laertes (Od. xxiv, - 389). Moreover, if the apportioning of awards mentioned in Od., xxi, - 214 (ἄξομαι ἀμφοτέροις ἀλόχους) were a matter of custom, would not the - faithful Eurycleia have served as a very special prize? Cf.

A correct notion -of the part played in Greek life by this character could not have -been obtained from a narrower field. Certain phases of the nurse’s -life are discussed by Becker in his “Charicles” (Excursus to Scene -I), and references to different aspects of the subject are found in -Hermann’s “Lehrbuch” (3rd. ed., pt. IV). Friedländer’s “Sittengeschichte -Roms” (5th. ed., I, p. 468ff.) was of special value in -throwing light on some of the <span lang="grc" xml:lang="grc">μυθόι</span> of Chapter IV.
