In the time of Herodotus and Thucydides, the island city of Samos
was a leading Greek community, and under the later Hellenistic
kingdoms its reputation remained high. Despite its importance,
however, this is the first comprehensive study since sustained
archaeological investigation began in the 1960s. In reconstructing
social and economic trends as well as political and military
events, Shipley balances archaeological and geographical evidence
with the equally important written sources, including inscriptions
and coins. He isolates relatively constant factors in Samos's
history (such as its strategic location and its plentiful natural
resources) and sets these against substantive developments (such as
the loss of independence after Alexander and the decisive influence
of Samian emigres on Alexandrian intellectual culture) to provide a
broader perspective on the history of Samos.
