Description
Book SynopsisThroughout history, the Mediterranean Sea has played a significant role in the culture of the surrounding countries. In Antiquity, this role reflected particular cultural and geographical perspectives. Due to issues of textual availability, scholars of the ancient Mediterranean have tended to focus on classical texts, which primarily adopt Greek and Roman approaches, specifically the views expressed by authors active in mainland Greece or Italy. This volume aims to propose another perspective: that of the East. To achieve this, it takes as its starting point a selection of works inspired by the celebration of an international conference on this topic, held in Jerusalem in November 2022, in a territory located on the eastern coast of the Mediterranean. The authors of these works were uniquely positioned to discuss the Mediterranean from this new perspective.
