ANTIQUITIES GRomE

    This book presents for the first time a history of Eretria during the Archaic Era, the city’s most notable period of political importance.

     Keith Walker examines all the major elements of the city’s success. One of the key factors explored is Eretria’s role as a pioneer coloniser in both the Levant and the West—its early Aegean ‘island empire’ anticipates that of Athens by more than a century, and Eretrian shipping and trade was similarly widespread.
