This wide-ranging yet detailed study describes and assesses the
many-faceted cultural achievement of an area remote from Athens,
the Dorian islands. Elizabeth Craik's scholarship sets this lively
outlying region of the ancient Greek world - which included Rhodes,
Kos, Karpathos, Melos, and Thera - in the perspective of Greek
civilization as a whole, demonstrating that excessive emphasis on
the Athenian advancements of the fifth century BC tends to obscure
the contribution of other regions. Beginning with a discussion of
the geographical setting, natural resources and historical
development of the area, The Dorian Aegean goes on to survey
linguistic usage and local scripts, and to examine the regional
contribution to literature, medicine and science. In the final
three chapters, the religious traditions and practices of the
islands are discussed, in terms of myths, cults and administration.
This work will appeal to students of the classical world,
archaeology, and cultural history.
