520 _aAmong the Greek funerary epigrams dedicated to children who died prematurely, several evoke the games and toys of these young people. Boys tend to dominate this corpus, but some girls and young women are also given playful activities. This article analyzes three texts, studying the gendered dimension of these pastimes and the discourse on childhood that they convey, while reevaluating our contemporary definitions of toys when applied to ancient worlds. The study draws on the inscription for the young Thessalian Athenaios (turn of Common Era) and compares it with two epigrams in the Palatine Anthology: for Myro (VII 190, third century BCE) and Hymnis (VII 643, first century BCE).
