A COMPANION TO GREEKS ACROSS THE ANCIENT WORLD
An innovative, up-to-date treatment of ancient Greek mobility and migration from 1000 BCE to 30 BCE
A Companion to Greeks Across the Ancient World explores the mobility and migration of Greeks who left their homelands in the ten centuries between the Early Iron Age and the Hellenistic period. While most academic literature centers on the Greeks of the Aegean basin area, this unique volume provides a systematic examination of the history of the other half of the ancient Greek world. Contributions from leading scholars and historians discuss where migrants settled, their new communities, and their connections and interactions with both Aegean Greeks and non-Greeks.
Divided into three parts, the book first covers ancient and modern approaches and the study of the ancient Greeks outside their homelands, including various intellectual, national, and linguistic traditions. Regional case studies form the core of the text, taking a microhistory approach to examine Greeks in the Near Eastern Empires, Greek-Celtic interactions in Central Europe, Greek-established states in Central Asia, and many others throughout Europe, Africa, and Asia. The closing section of the text discusses wider themes such as the relations between the Greek homeland and the edges of Greek civilization. Reflecting contemporary research and fresh perspectives on ancient Greek culture contact, this volume:
- Discusses the development and intersection of mobility, migration, and diaspora studies
- Examines the various forms of ancient Greek mobility and their outcomes
- Highlights contributions to cultural development in the Greek and non-Greek world
- Examines wider themes and the various forms of ancient Greek mobility and their outcomes
- Includes an overview of ancient terminology and concepts, modern translations, numerous maps, and full references
A Companion to Greeks Across the Ancient World is a valuable resource for students, instructors, and researchers of Classical antiquity, as well as non-specialists with interest in ancient Greek mobilities, migrations, and diasporas.
