Early in the archaic period of Greek history, Messenia was annexed
and partially settled by its powerful neighbour, Sparta. Achieving
independence in the fourth century BC, the inhabitants of Messenia
set about trying to forge an identity for themselves separate from
their previous identity as Spartan subjects, refunctionalising or
simply erasing their Spartan heritage. Professor Luraghi provides a
thorough examination of the history of Messenian identity and
consequently addresses a range of questions and issues whose
interest and importance have only been widely recognised by ancient
historians during the last decade. By a detailed scrutiny of the
ancient written sources and the archaeological evidence, the book,
which was originally published in 2008, reconstructs how the
Messenians perceived and constructed their own ethnicity at
different points in time, by applying to Messenian ethnicity
insights developed by anthropologists and early medieval
historians.
