Collection “Scripta Antiqua 95”.
The land question has long been awaiting a return to the heart of early Greek history, the history that saw the fall of the Mycenaean palaces and the emergence of city-states. This book presents an analysis based on a broad inventory of available sources, from Mycenaean texts to traditions on Archaic Greece, including rural archaeology. It aims to demonstrate the importance of the Mycenaean palace period in the economic and social history of Greece, and to reinterpret the latter by placing it at the heart of the process of city-building; and it ends up placing Greek cities in the broader Mediterranean context, well beyond any idea of a miracle or Greek exception.
