Wealth and indigence are variable and essentially subjective ideas, characterized by the historic... more Wealth and indigence are variable and essentially subjective ideas, characterized by the historical, economic, social and cultural contexts in which they are employed. The examples drawn from the literary texts of ancient Greece confirm the assumption. In Homeric poems, for example, wealth is seen as a resource for increasing social status, achieving success on opponents, and consolidating power. With Hesiod, there is a change of perspective, since wealth is not only commensurate with land ownership, but also with the sudden gains from trade and maritime traffic. The poet approves the wealth, only if it is acquired legitimately in full respect of divine standards. From the VII century B.C. the elegiac and jambic poets emphasize the fact that there is no direct correspondence between belonging to the aristocratic class and the possession of great substances; surely enrichment has in any case become the main aspiration for those who intend to free themselves in any way from poverty. At the same time, Theognis, accepting the ideology of the most intransigent aristocrats, considers wealth in negative terms, since he thinks that it facilitates the rise of enterprising individuals or coming up from demos. While public opinion accepts the idea that plenty of goods is an absolute value, the wise men repeat the fallacy of this judgment. This dichotomy goes on to Hellenism, when the debate on accumulation of wealth and the positive value of poverty becomes commonplace, after being filtered out of Cynical and Epicurean thought and diffused by the diatribe.
