Wine cup used by Pericles found north of Athens
#10
Sorry friend where did I misrepresent your argument (bar the unfortunate mistake with your family, sorry)? You postulated a parallel and I correctly pointed out that we actually a) have a more than sufficient corpus of evidence and that b) we have a more than plausible working theory of how classical Greek onomastics worked. I'm not saying it was ironclad, I'm sure there was the occasional commoner with a name like Aristeides son of Anaxagoras son of Demarkhos from a rich part of a deme like Kephissos. But that would be against the trend in the data and against Athenian social expectations.
