Early Greek states beyond the polis

About this book

"Ethnicity in the ancient world is currently a subject of considerable debate. Catherine Morgan's study focuses on this topic as it applies to areas of ancient Greece which have been previously neglected in research, and which lie outside the well-known poleis (such as Athens). She explores the different tiers of identity by which mainland Greeks constituted their communities during the Early Iron Age and Archaic period." "Highly illustrated with more than eighty photographs, maps, and plans, and replete with up-to-the-minute archaeological data, this important new work is necessary reading for everyone studying the archaeology and history of the peoples of early Greece."--Jacket.
