Usage: The term "patroparadotos" refers to something that is inherited or passed down from one's ancestors, particularly in the context of traditions, customs, or beliefs. It is used to describe practices or ways of life that are received from previous generations. Cultural and Historical Background: In the ancient world, traditions and customs were often passed down orally from one generation to the next. These traditions could include religious practices, cultural norms, and societal laws.

In the Greco-Roman world, philosophical and cultural traditions were similarly transmitted.
