Download or read book The Dance of the Islands written by Christy Constantakopoulou and published by OUP Oxford. This book was released on 2010-07-29 with total page 348 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Christy Constantakopoulou examines the history of the Aegean islands and changing concepts of insularity, with particular emphasis on the fifth century BC. Islands are a prominent feature of the Aegean landscape, and this inevitably created a variety of different (and sometimes contradictory) perceptions of insularity in classical Greek thought. Geographic analysis of insularity emphasizes the interplay between island isolation and island interaction, but the predominance of islands in the Aegean sea made island isolation almost impossible. Rather, island connectivity was an important feature of the history of the Aegean and was expressed on many levels. Constantakopoulou investigates island interaction in two prominent areas, religion and imperial politics, examining both the religious networks located on islands in the ancient Greek world and the impact of imperial politics on the Aegean islands during the fifth century.

Download or read book Archaeology written by Andreas G. Vlachopoulos and published by . This book was released on 2006 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From the editor's preface: "Aegean Islands", the first book in the series "Archaeology", is a review of archaeological activity in the islands of the Archipelago from the nineteenth century to the present day, with emphasis on the most important field research, findings and finds of the last twenty years. The book aims at a comprehensive and collective assessment of the Aegean island world and its culture. This was the basic idea and it is this that we consider is the value and the contribution of the work to the contemporary bibliography, as archaeological approaches to the Aegean have until now been fragmentary and focused on single islands or island groups. The introduction outlines briefly the history of archaeological activity in the Aegean, the factors that stimulated it and the persons who conducted it.
Download or read book The Islands of the Aegean Classic Reprint written by Henry Fanshawe Tozer and published by . This book was released on 2015-07-07 with total page 378 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Islands of the Aegean The present work does not profess to be more than a sketch of the subject with which it deals. For fuller information the reader is referred to such comprehensive works as Ross's Reisen auf den griechischen Inseln, Pashley's Travels in Crete, Conze's Reise auf den Inseln des Thrakischen Meeres, and Mr. Bent's The Cyclades. These (with the exception of the last-named, which was not published when I visited the central islands) were the constant companions of my journeys, and I take this opportunity of acknowledging the service which they have rendered me, both as a source of information in travelling, and as an aid in compiling this book. The three journeys which are here described were undertaken at considerable intervals, but no great changes have taken place in those regions since the first was made.
