Christy Constantakopoulou examines the history of the Aegean
islands and changing concepts of insularity, with particular
emphasis on the fifth century BC. Islands are a prominent feature
of the Aegean landscape, and this inevitably created a variety of
different (and sometimes contradictory) perceptions of insularity
in classical Greek thought. Geographic analysis of insularity
emphasizes the interplay between island isolation and island
interaction, but the predominance of islands in the Aegean sea made
island isolation almost impossible. Rather, island connectivity was
an important feature of the history of the Aegean and was expressed
on many levels. Constantakopoulou investigates island interaction
in two prominent areas, religion and imperial politics, examining
both the religious networks located on islands in the ancient Greek
world and the impact of imperial politics on the Aegean islands
during the fifth century.
