Greek Colonisation
The 3-volume handbook is dedicated to one of the most significant processes in the history of ancient Greece - colonisation. Greeks set up colonies and other settlements in new environments, establishing themselves in lands stretching from the Iberian Peninsula in the west to North Africa in the south and the Black Sea in the north-east. In this colonial world Greek and local societies met, influenced and enriched each other. The handbook brings together historians and archaeologists, all world experts, to present the latest ideas and evidence. The principal aim is to present and update the general picture of this phenomenon, showing its importance in the history of the whole ancient world, including the Near East. The work is dedicated to the late Prof. A.J. Graham. This second volume contains chapters on Central Greece on the eve of the colonisation movement, foundation stories, colonisation in the Classical period, the Adriatic, the northern Aegean, Libya and Cyprus.
The Archaeology of Greek Colonisation
Essentially unchanged from the 1994 hardbound edition, this group of eight essays was first produced in honor of the retirement from Oxford U of the well known classical scholar, John Boardman. The essays concern issues of colonization by the Greeks in the Black Sea, Italy, the northwest Mediterranean, and North Africa, as well as Greek colonization in the early iron age. A map is included.
