Description
Book SynopsisPindar's metaphor of the Isthmus as a bridge spanning two seas encapsulates the essence of the place and gives a fitting title for this volume of 17 essays on the history and archaeology of the area. The Isthmus, best known for the panhellenic Sanctuary of Poseidon, attracted travelers both before and after Pausanias's visit.
Trade ReviewThe scholarship and writing are exemplary throughout this well-illustrated volume ... The articles are aimed at scholars, but can offer the more general reader intriguing and authoritative glimpses into the material culture of Isthmia and a picture of the diverse results of archaeological exploration focused on a single region.

"... A thoroughly accomplished volume that serves equally as an accessible introduction to, and an important marker for, work on the historic Isthmus and, by extension, current research trends in Greece."

"... The articles maintain a high standard of scholarship, which should provide inspiration for a wide range of scholars as well as students of the Classical world."
