From the Trojan War to the sack of Rome, from the fall of
Constantinople to the bombings of World War II and the recent
devastation of Syrian towns, the destruction of cities and the
slaughter of civilian populations are among the most dramatic
events in world history. But how reliable are literary sources for
these events? Did ancient authors exaggerate the scale of
destruction to create sensational narratives? This volume
reassesses the impact of physical destruction on ancient Greek
cities and its demographic and economic implications. Addressing
methodological issues of interpreting the archaeological evidence
for destructions, the volume examines the evidence for the
destruction, survival, and recovery of Greek cities. The studies,
written by an international group of specialists in archaeology,
ancient history, and numismatic, range from Sicily to Asia Minor
and Aegean Thrace, and include Athens, Corinth, and Eretria. They
highlight the resilience of ancient populations and the recovery of
cities in the long term.
