This collection of essays by notable scholars from a variety of
disciplines deals with different aspects of the history and culture
of the Greek island of Aegina in the fifth century BC. The island
is well known as the home of magnificent architecture and
sculpture; as the patron of impressive lyric poetry composed by
Pindar and his contemporaries; and, from the pages of Herodotus, as
a significant trading power, and military threat to her great
neighbour Athens. The book brings together experts on choral lyric
poetry, myth, art-history, and historiography, with the aim of
offering a broad view of the island's significance in some of the
major trends in fifth-century Greek history and culture, and
situating the island's patronage of some of the greatest Classical
poets within broader cultural and historical frames.
