Beskrivning
The temples and theatres of the ancient Greek world are widely known, but there is less familiarity with the houses in which people lived. In this book, Lisa Nevett provides an accessible introduction to the varied forms of housing found across the Greek world between c. 1000 and 200 BCE. Many houses adopted a courtyard structure which she sets within a broader chronological, geographical and socio-economic context. The book explores how housing shaped - and was shaped by - patterns of domestic life, at Athens and in other urban communities. It also points to a rapid change in the scale, elaboration and layout of the largest houses. This is associated with a shift away from expressing solidarity with peers in the local urban community towards advertising personal status and participation in a network of elite households which stretched across the Mediterranean. Instructors, students and general readers will welcome this stimulating volume.

Recensioner i media

'Lisa Nevett has established herself as perhaps the foremost current expert in ancient Greek housing, both in the homeland and the Greek colonial world … She has taken her scholarship further with the significant reopening of excavations at a key ancient planned city at Olynthus in Northern Greece. … This volume gathers together the fruits of her many previous publications on Greek housing with an excellent up-to-date survey of recent fieldwork and publications, clearly written, and covering the whole chronological span from 1000 BC to the end of the Hellenistic era, and the Greek world over much of the Mediterranean and Black Sea. It is an ideal basis for students and scholars of Classical Antiquity to catch up on this clearly still-developing field.' John Bintliff, Journal of Greek Archaeology
