What can a study of antiquity contribute to the interdisciplinary
paradigm of the environmental humanities? And how does this recent
paradigm influence the way we perceive human-'nature' interactions
in pre-modernity? By asking these and a number of related
questions, this Element aims to show why the ancient tradition
still matters in the Anthropocene. Offering new perspectives to
think about what directions the ecological turn could take in
classical studies, it revisits old material, including ancient
Greek religion and mythology, with central concepts of contemporary
environmental theory. It also critically engages with forms of
classical reception in current debates, arguing that ancient
ecological knowledge is a powerful resource for creating
alternative world views.
