In ancient Athens, sick infants who were deemed weak or unhealthy were often abandoned, a practice known as exposure. This was a common practice in many parts of ancient Greece, where the survival of the fittest was a prevailing belief. The exposed infants were left in a designated place, such as on a hillside or at the city’s edge, where they were left to die or be rescued by others. This practice reflected the harsh realities of ancient life and societal values surrounding health and strength.
