Studies in the History of the Ancient Greek Experience in the Black Sea

• Format: PDF

Produktbeschreibung

This volume contains the collected work of the distinguished Greek historian Stanley M. Burstein concerning the ancient Greek experience in the Black Sea. He wrote these studies over a period of almost half a century, from the early 1970s to the present. Most scholarship dealing with the history of the Greeks in the Pontus centers on the Greek cities of the north and west coasts. By contrast, Prof. Burstein's work focuses on the less well-known cities of the south coast, particularly Heraclea Pontica, which is distinguished by a uniquely rich historical tradition. The volume is divided into two parts. The first part reprints the author's classic monograph Outpost of Hellenism: The Emergence of Heraclea on the Black Sea, which has been long out of print and copies of which are difficult to obtain. The second part includes seventeen papers written subsequent to the publication of Outpost of Hellenism in 1976 that examine Heraclea's relations with other Greek states in the Black Sea and the Aegean. As a group, these studies constitute a valuable contribution to the study of the history of the Pontic Greeks from the beginning of Greek activity in the Black Sea in the Archaic period to the Hellenistic period.
