The third century BC was a particularly troubled period of ancient
Greek history, when the Aegean sea became the main stage for power
struggles between various royal circles and dynasties, including
the Antigonids and the Ptolemies. This volume addresses the history
of interaction in the Aegean world during this time by focusing on
the island of Delos, which housed one of its most important
regional sanctuaries. It draws on contemporary network theory and
approaches to regionalism, as well as thorough investigation of the
Delian epigraphic and material evidence, to explore how and to what
degree the islands of the southern Aegean formed active networks of
political, religious, and cultural interaction. Four case studies
examine different types of networks on and around Delos, covering
the federal organisation of islands into the so-called 'Islanders'
League', the participation of Delian and other agents in the
processes of monumentalisation of the Delian landscape, the network
of honours of the Delian community, and the social dynamics of
dedication through the record of dedicants in the Delian
inventories. They reveal not only that these kinds of regional
interaction in the southern Aegean were pervasive, but also that
they had a significant impact on the creation of a regional
identity; one that persisted despite the political changes of the
age.
