Agriculture was the main source of living in Ancient Greece and
this book provides a broad introduction to ancient Greek
agriculture. The initial focus is firmly on the art of agriculture
proper - the tools and the techniques, the plants cultivated and
the animals reared - thereafter the book examines the position of
agriculture in the society of gods and men in the Greek
city-states. In the epilogue it is stated that Greek agriculture in
the period of the city-states was rather primitive and the authors
question the view which maintains that agriciulture was the main
source not only of living but also of wealth in Ancient Greece. The
book's arguments are strengthened by its close adherence to
contemporary Greek sources, literary as well as archaeological,
avoiding the use of later as well as of Roman material.
