reading plato nomoi stumbled upon following phrase . Nomoi book X 15 last sentense . “if he left children that can be useful for the state so shall the government agancy responsible for care of orhphans also take care of these orphans as like other orphans from the day on their father has been sentensed”
of course plato talking in this discourse about bigotery how people questioning the gods should be sentensed and put to death and how it should be dealt with their remaining children. however the point of interest for us is here the words orphans and government agency responsible for care of orphans.
unfortunately plato did not mention or write more about the subject for us to figure out if there is already an agency for taking care of orphans or wheter it should be established in his utopia. however the taking care of orphans after the execution of their father due to blashpemy or questioning gods is an interesting point. it already talks about an issue that is established in our modern society with the establishemnt of social services previous times under the care of the churches. however a secular government agency taking care of social services in ancient greek seems a very modern thought (service).
