Both the Greeks and the Romans of the pre-Christian period considered an orphan to be a child without a living father. For the Greeks of Periclean Athens, Ffector s son Astyanax from Book 22 of the Iliad symbolized the hardships suffered by all orphans, but especially those of powerful families. Although Astyanax still had his mother, Andromache, he had lost his father, Hector, and the protection that only a male parent could provide in a society of warriors (Riad, 22.484-506). 

After the Bible, the Homeric poems occupied the premier place in the Byzantine hierarchy of Uterature. As we saw in Chapter One, the Iliad preserved at the close of Book 22 the passage best known among educated Byzantines as the typos of an orphan s suffering. Achilles had just slain Hector and the Greeks were dragging the body of the fallen Trojan hero back to their ships. As Hector s wife, Andromache, watched from the walls of Troy, she lamented the fate of their orphaned son, Astyanax, and presented a vivid picture of the injustices and humiliations he would endure as a fatherless child (Iliad, 22.484-506).
