| Summary | "Poine: a study in ancient Greek blood-vengeance" by Hubert Joseph Treston is a scholarly examination written in the early 20th century. The work delves into the complex aspects of blood-vengeance in ancient Greek society, particularly as depicted in Homeric texts. The author aims to illuminate various forms of vendetta, their underlying principles, and how these customs evolved within Greek civilization. At the start of the study, Treston outlines the purpose of his analysis, emphasizing the lack of comprehensive works specifically addressing Greek blood-vengeance. He categorizes vengeance methods among different cultures, including unrestricted vendetta and tribal compensation systems like wergeld, setting the tone for a thorough exploration of these themes. The opening establishes Treston’s argument that understanding blood-vengeance is crucial to grasping the broader sociocultural and legal frameworks of ancient Greek life, engaging with Homeric texts to support his analyses.
