Originally published in 2003, The Cultures within Ancient Greek
Culture challenges the conventional perception of ancient Greece as
the paradigm for unified models of culture. It offers an
alternative view of archaic and classical Greece, one in which the
contact, conflict and collaboration of a variety of 'sub-cultures'
combine to comprise what we understand as 'Greekness'. This volume
argues for the recognition and analysis of cultural contact within
Greece, focussing on the micromechanics of cultural exchange, the
permeability of cultural boundaries, and the significance of
Delphi's geographically marginal, yet symbolically central location
as an 'internal contact zone'. Through attention to everyday
practices and professions, the essays reveal important ways of
conceiving of diversity within Greek culture, ranging from the
non-elite culture of athletic trainers to the competing musical
cultures at work in fifth-century Athens.
