Rezensionen
"This collection of material is especially valuable for theholistic approach it takes in assessing the world of the fifth andfourth centuries. The focus is not narrow or purely literary andartistic. Thus, chapters on the Aegean world, the natural habitat,and the geological basis of the Greek environment place Greeksociety, farming, and settlement in a context far more deeplyrooted than any purely literary study." (Pheonix,2009)

"Kinzl's Companion on the Greek world in the classicalperiod is a work of unrivalled geographical and conceptual scope.The papers are up to date, with excellent bibliographies, and willbe of use to students and professionals...The volumedemonstrates that Greek history consists of much more thanpolitical institutions and great power conflicts; it integratesliterary and material evidence; it amounts to one of the mostsuccessful attempt (sic) at creating a non-Athenocentric history ofclassical Greece. Moreover, the arrangement of the volumesuggests an editorial decision to think of Greek history not justin terms of the chronological narrative but also in terms ofspatial and thematic accounts..."
