Nombre de débats et discussions acharnées n'ont cessé et ne cessent de se succéder sur l'ainsi dénommée « crise grecque », alors même que se profile, à mesure qu'on en prend conscience, une crise européenne de plus large ampleur. On avance ainsi des chiffres, élabore force plans de sauvetage, négocie des taux d’intérêts bancaires au nom de « marchés » anonymes et tout-puissants, sans bien comprendre ce que cette crise recèle. Pourtant, des voix s’élèvent, de plus en plus audibles, qui s’efforcent d’identifier et de diagnostiquer les causes profondes de ce qui se révèle progressivement comme une crise plus vaste, qui touche non seulement à l’identité grecque, mais à la pensée, à un véritable malaise de notre culture, qui outrepasse le seul « cas » grec. En juillet 1954, alors qu'il venait d'avoir trente ans, exilé en France et dans l'impossibilité de retourner en Grèce, Kostas Axelos publie ce texte prémonitoire et d'une lucidité accablante, s'efforçant de scruter les origines profondes du mal-être grec. À peine sorti de la Résistance et d'une sanglante guerre civile, le jeune Axelos s'attaque ici au Destin de la Grèce moderne, en y posant des questions cruciales. Assurément, il n'y a pas à en douter: le destin de l'Hellade est bien «moderne». Plus encore, « elle ne peut être sans destin au sein du monde moderne dominé par les grandes puissances ». L'interrogation fondamentale concernant la Grèce demeure ici d'une étonnante actualité: « Comment établira-t-elle l'harmonie entre sa puissance et son impuissance? Et pour s'approprier son être ne vendra-t-elle pas son âme au diable? S'assurera-t-elle sa place dans le monde sans abandonner sa nature et saura-t-elle maintenir l'équilibre entre la physis et la technè ? »

The Patria is a fascinating four-book collection of short historical notes, stories, and legends about the buildings and monuments of Constantinople, compiled in the late tenth century by an anonymous author who made ample use of older sources. It also describes the foundation and early (pre-Byzantine) history of the city, and includes the Narrative on the Construction of Hagia Sophia, a semi-legendary account of Emperor Justinian I’s patronage of this extraordinary church (built between 532 and 537). The Patria constitutes a unique record of popular traditions about the city, especially its pagan statues, held by its medieval inhabitants. At the same time it is the only Medieval Greek text to present a panorama of the city as it existed in the middle Byzantine period. Despite its problems of historical reliability, the Patria is still one of our main guides for the urban history of medieval Constantinople. This translation makes the entire text of the Patria accessible in English for the first time.

Although the Hellenistic period has become increasingly popular in research and teaching in recent years, the western Mediterranean is rarely considered part of the 'Hellenistic world'; instead the cities, peoples and kingdoms of the West are usually only discussed insofar as they relate to Rome. This book contends that the rift between the 'Greek East' and the 'Roman West' is more a product of the traditional separation of Roman and Greek history than a reflection of the Hellenistic-period Mediterranean, which was a strongly interconnected cultural and economic zone, with the rising Roman republic just one among many powers in the region, east and west. The contributors argue for a dynamic reading of the economy, politics and history of the central and western Mediterranean beyond Rome, and in doing so problematise the concepts of 'East', 'West' and 'Hellenistic' itself.

This is a richly illustrated volume that demonstrates Sicily's essential role in the development of the ancient Mediterranean world. Ancient Sicily, a prosperous island at the crossroads of the Mediterranean, occupied a pivotal place in the region. In the late 8th Century B.C., emigres from the Greek mainland founded colonies along the shores of the region now known as Sicily. Over time, the area grew wealthy from its agricultural abundance, and colonial settlements emerged as formidable metropolises. Sicily is the only English-language book that focuses on the watershed period between 480 B.C. and the Roman conquest of Syracuse in 212 B.C. - a time of great social and political ferment. Essays investigate Sicily not simply as a destination for adventurers and settlers, but as a catalyst that shaped Greek culture at its peak and transmitted Hellenism to Rome. In the opulent courts of the Sicilian city-states, artists, poets, and scientist attained levels of ingenuity rivaling those of "old Greece." Innovation in architecture, engineering, philosophy and literature flourished in mixed cultural communities.

This is the third volume of Getzel Cohen's important work on the Hellenistic settlements in the ancient world. Through the conquests of Alexander the Great, his successors and others, Greek and Macedonian culture spread deep into Asia, with colonists settling as far away as Bactria and India. In this book, Cohen provides historical narratives, detailed references, citations, and commentaries on all the Graeco-Macedonian settlements founded (or refounded) in the East. Organized geographically, Cohen pulls together discoveries and debates from dozens of widely scattered archaeological and epigraphic projects, making a distinct contribution to ongoing questions and opening new avenues of inquiry.
