Archaiologia
Peloponnesos
Edited by Andreas G Vlachopoulos
The third volume of the “Archaeology” series focuses on the Peloponnese, the realm of important city-states, birthplace of mythical heroes, location of sacred shrines of panhellenic reputation, and cradle of ancient cults and of the most important athletic games of the ancient world. As directors of excavations in the Peloponnese and experienced researchers in the field and scholars of ancient sources, the 65 authors in this volume present the conclusions of recent projects, covering the historical trajectory of the region from the first evidence of human habitation and the Neolithic Period to the twilight of the Roman Empire. The natural landscape, mythology, and archaeological and historical topography constitute an innovative framework for “reading” the different regions of the Peloponnese through texts, maps, and rare images. Introductory chapters for each period of antiquity offer the reader the most comprehensive picture of archaeological exploration. Through systematic and up-to-date scientific examination of the regions of Corinthia, Argolid, Arcadia, Laconia, Messenia, Heleia, and Achaea, this collective work makes a significant contribution to the archaeological literature.
