What did the ancient Greeks and Romans think of the peoples they
referred to as barbari ? Did they share the modern Western
conception-popularized in modern fantasy literature and
role-playing games-of "barbarians" as brutish, unwashed enemies of
civilization? Or our related notion of "the noble savage?" Was the
category fixed or fluid? How did it contrast with the Greeks and
Romans' conception of their own cultural identity? Was it based on
race? In accessible, jargon-free prose, Erik Jensen addresses these
and other questions through a copiously illustrated introduction to
the varied and evolving ways in which the ancient Greeks and Romans
engaged with, and thought about, foreign peoples-and to the recent
historical and archaeological scholarship that has overturned
received understandings of the relationship of Classical
civilization to its "others."
