This innovative, extensively illustrated study examines how
classical antiquities and archaeology contributed significantly to
the production of the modern Greek nation and its national
imagination. It also shows how, in return, national imagination has
created and shaped classical antiquities and archaeological
practice from the nineteenth century to the present. Yannis
Hamilakis covers a diverse range of topics, including the role of
antiquities in the foundation of the Greek state in the nineteenth
century, the Elgin marbles controversy, the role of archaeology
under dictatorial regimes, the use of antiquities in the detention
camps of the Greek civil war, and the discovery of the so-called
tomb of Philip of Macedonia.
