Oikos (Ancient Greek: οἶκος (pronunciation oi•kos [a]; plural: οἶκοι) was, in Ancient Greece, two related but distinct concepts: the family and the family's house.[b] Its meaning shifted even within texts.[1]
The oikos was the basic unit of society in most Greek city-states. In normal Attic usage the oikos, in the context of families, referred to a line of descent from father to son from generation to generation.[2] Alternatively, as Aristotle used it in his Politics, the term was sometimes used to refer to everybody living in a given house. Thus, the head of the oikos, along with his immediate family and his slaves, would all be encompassed.[3]
Large oikoi also had farms that were usually tended by the slaves, which were also the basic agricultural unit of the ancient Greek economy.
