Produktbeschreibung

The basis of the ancient family among the Greeks and Romans was not birth, natural affection, or physical strength, as Greek law and Roman law did not give any weight to this, but the family was based on a bond stronger than all of that, which is religion, the religion of the hearth and ancestors, which made... The family is a cohesive body, in this life and the afterlife. The family, according to their definition, is "a group of people whom religion allows to direct their prayers to the same hearth, and to offer the funeral food to the same ancestors." The Greeks and Romans also attached special importance to marital union. There were laws prohibiting celibacy and punishing the man who did not marry. They called marriage a "sacred celebration." They would go first to the temples and make offerings to the gods, which they called preludes to marriage. However, the basic celebration took place at home. In front of the hearth, supervised by the household god, and among the Greeks it consisted of three chapters: the first took place in front of the wife's father's hearth, the second at the husband's hearth, and the third was the transition from one to the other.
