I was reading the funeral oration of Pericles and came across this line "The tribute of deeds has been paid in part; for the dead have them in deeds, and it remains only that their children should be maintained at the public charge until they are grown up". How exactly would have this been done? Was there some institution for caring for these and who exactly would have done it? Would have other Greek states such as Sparta or Corinth have had a similar service?
