If play can make anything into a pleasure object, what role is left for the objects themselves, whether they be toys or traditional objects of art? This chapter studies the concrete realia of ancient play—the knucklebones, dolls, dice, yo-yos, wind-up toys, and so forth—via both literary and archaeological evidence. The fact that the Greek words for “toy”—athurma and paignion—regularly denote jewelry, baubles, trinkets, and other such sparkling items lends support to the overarching thesis of this book: just as the verb paizō can denote “delight”, under which the English “play” might be thought of as a subcategory, so too paignia chiefly denotes “pleasure objects”, under which the English “toys” can be thought of as a subcategory. But this poses problems even while it lends support. Considering that play is typically omnivorous—a player can play with anything (sticks, rocks, potsherds)—what is the nature of this more limited set of objects, namely “toys”? If the pleasures of play are self-emanating, how do these special objects come to be recognized as more pleasurable than everyday objects, as if they themselves were the sources of pleasure?
