This book presents for the first time a history of Eretria during
the Archaic Era, the city's most notable period of political
importance and Keith Walker examines all the major elements of the
city's success. One of the key factors explored is Eretria's role
as a pioneer coloniser in both the Levant and the West - its early
Aegaen 'island empire' anticipates that of Athens by more than a
century, and Eretrian shipping and trade was similarly widespread.
Eretria's major, indeed dominant, role in the events of central
Greece in the last half of the sixth century, and in the events of
the Ionian Revolt to 490 is clearly demonstrated, and the tyranny
of Diagoras (c.538-509), perhaps the golden age of the city, is
fully examined. Full documentation of literary, epigraphic and
archaeological sources (most of which has previously been
inaccessible to an English speaking-audience) is provided, creating
a fascinating history and valuable resource for the Greek
historian.
