Opis

Ancient Greek migrants in Sicily produced societies and economies that paralleled and differed from their homeland. Since the nineteenth century explanations for this have been heavily debated. This book is the first to gather the historical and archaeological evidence and to deploy it to test the various historical models proposed.

Recenzje

A book remarkable in erudition and key not only for the historical archaeology of Sicily but also for all of archaic and classical Greek history. Through his integration of and extrapolation upon archaeological discoveries, De Angelis demonstrates the connections of Sicily with the Mediterranean as a whole...The book, with its superb maps, charts, illustrations, and an 89-page bibliography, makes obsolete all earlier accounts. Essential.
