This is an illuminating collection of essays that explore the idea
of cultural identity in the ancient Mediterranean. Cultural
identity is a slippery and elusive concept. When applied to the
collective self-consciousness among people or nations, it becomes
all the more difficult to define or grasp. In recent decades
scholars have focused on the 'other' - the alien, the unfamiliar,
the different, perceived or conceived as the opposite - to
highlight the virtues and advantages of the self. While this
influential idea continues to hold sway, the time has come for a
more nuanced and complex understanding of how the various societies
of the ancient Mediterranean shaped their sense of identity. The
twenty-four essays in this volume examine the subject from a
variety of angles, encompassing a broad range of cultures: Greek,
Persian, Jewish, Phoenician, Egyptian, Roman, Gallic, and German -
and an impressive array of topics.
