Description
Book SynopsisThis book argues that for some Greeks the ethnos, a regionally based ethnic group, and the koinon, or regional confederation, were equally valid units of social and political life and that these ethnic identities were astonishingly durable.
Trade Review"There is considerable scholarly interest in those regions of Greece, including Phokis, where the polis did not emerge as the principal form of community in the archaic period. I have no doubt that this study will make an important contribution to the field and will have a wide readership." --Paula Perlman, author of City and Sanctuary in Ancient Greece: The Theorodokia in the Peloponnese
