Analysis reveals infrequent use of parenthood terms in Republican Latin literature, emphasizing common words.
Several words are used to express parenthood in the Republican period, but such terms as genitor, genetrix, creator, creatrix, omniparens , and sator are used very infrequently. Some of the major authors of the period use no words of parenthood other than pater, mater , and parens , and in the others the number of occurrences is so trifling that we can limit our study to the three words most commonly employed.
