A History of Ancient Greece in Its Mediterranean Context

This exciting new edition of A History of Ancient Greece in its Mediterranean Context has been thoroughly revised and expanded to cover the development of Greece from the Neolithic through the Hellenistic periods from the point of view of its wider Mediterranean context. This approach is growing in popularity with Greek historians as archaeological evidence increasingly demonstrates that the culture and political life of Greece were not isolated developments but rather formed an integral part of the wider Mediterranean world shaped by seaborne interactions with other Mediterranean peoples from the Levant to Italy Sicily and Sardinia.
