Childhood Corporal Punishment During the Hellenistic Period
I'm seeking to understand the nature of childhood corporal punishment under Hellenism -- anything pertaining to attitudes, prevalence, and practices. (Somewhat related, I'm also interested in childhood corporal punishment in the Roman Empire among peoples for whom the rules and culture of patria potestas did not apply.) I'd be thankful for suggestions for primary and/or secondary sources, as well as any ideas that might be helpful. Thank you.
