This book is an ambitious synthesis of the social, economic,
political and cultural interactions between Greeks and non-Greeks
in the Mediterranean world during the Archaic, Classical and
Hellenistic periods. Instead of traditional and static distinctions
between Greeks and Others, Professor Vlassopoulos explores the
diversity of interactions between Greeks and non-Greeks in four
parallel but interconnected worlds: the world of networks, the
world of apoikiai ('colonies'), the Panhellenic world and the world
of empires. These diverse interactions set into motion processes of
globalisation; but the emergence of a shared material and cultural
koine across the Mediterranean was accompanied by the diverse ways
in which Greek and non-Greek cultures adopted and adapted elements
of this global koine. The book explores the paradoxical role of
Greek culture in the processes of ancient globalisation, as well as
the peculiar way in which Greek culture was shaped by its
interaction with non-Greek cultures.
