This book brings together a collection of original essays that
engage with cultural geography and landscape studies to produce new
ways of understanding place, space, and landscape in Greek
literature from the fifth and fourth centuries BCE. The authors
draw on an eclectic collection of contemporary approaches to bring
the study of ancient Greek literature into dialogue with the
burgeoning discussion of spatial theory in the humanities. The
essays in this volume treat a variety of textual spaces, from the
intimate to the expansive: the bedroom, ritual space, the law
courts, theatrical space, the poetics of the city, and the
landscape of war. And yet, all of the contributions are united by
an interest in recuperating some of the many ways in which the
ancient Greeks in the archaic and classical periods invested places
with meaning and in how the representation of place links texts to
social practices.
