Terracotta paidagogues from Pella
Abstract
The thirty terracotta figurines of paidagogues published here were found ina subterranean rock-cut tomb in Pella and belong to a burial of the mid 2nd century B.C. The figurines were cast from moulds of the same type with only slight variations. The known figurines of paidadogues are catalogued in six groups; some remarks concerning their date are put forward.The paidagogue type is stated that derives from Silens. In Pella the facial features of the Silens coexist with features of the teacher-philosopher type. These figurines may well reflect the paidagogue in Euripides’ drama and New Comedy of Menander.
