While the fight against poverty is a renewed concern in our contemporary society since the beginning of the 21st century, this collective work aims to explore different aspects of poverty in Ancient Greece. The approach does not emphasise the response of cities and citizens to poverty and does not focus on the issue of the assistantship or charity unlike what has often been done so far. It rather questions, thanks to the contributions of the recent sociology, the existence of poor practices, likely to define a social group. The question of visibility and issues of poverty is at the heart of many papers, especially with the iconographic representations of poverty. Without claiming to be exhaustive, this volume aims to lay the groundwork for a more general study of poverty in Antiquity that will not only reduces the phenomenon to a history of social conflicts or a consideration of economic disparities, but that will also apply to focus on the poor themselves.
