L’idea di questo Convegno viene da lontano: ognuna delle istituzioni che lo hanno organizzato ha accumulato infatti un patrimonio di riflessioni su questo tema: per il Centre Jean Bérard questo precede la sua stessa nascita, trovando la sua origine in Rhégion et Zankle, il libro di un maestro di cui in quest’occasione più che mai abbiamo sentito la mancanza; seguirono poi le due Contributions à l’étude de la société et de la colonisation eubéennes, del 1975 e del 1981; per l’Università di Edinburgo basti pensare alla lungae fruttuosa consuetudine di D. Ridgway con Pithekoussaie con il suo scopritore, G. Buchner. Grazie alla generosità degli amici Greci attivi nelle Soprintendenzee nelle Università, il volume presenta scavi inediti, ο noti ancora soltanto attraverso relazioni preliminari. Lo stesso vale per lo scavo della nuova “capanna ovale” di Punta Chiarito a Pithekoussai. Ci si perdoni l’immodestia se diciamo che questi dati, da soli, giustificherebbero la soddisfazione degli organizzatori. Ma un altro aspetto ci premeva,e fu rammentato nel momento in cui ebbero inizio i lavori del Convegno,e riguardava in particolare i nuovi rinvenimenti della Calcidica.

The ancient Greeks were for the most part a rural, not an urban, society. And for much of the Classical period, war was more common than peace. Almost all accounts of ancient history assume that farming and fighting were critical events in the lives of the citizenry. Yet never before have we had a comprehensive modern study of the relationship between agriculture and warfare in the Greek world. In this completely revised edition of Warfare and Agriculture in Classical Greece, Victor Davis Hanson provides a systematic review of Greek agriculture and warfare and describes the relationship between these two important aspects of life in ancient communities. With careful attention to agronomic as well as military details, this well-written, thoroughly researched study reveals the remarkable resilience of those farmland communities.In the past, scholars have assumed that the agricultural infrastructure of ancient society was often ruined by attack, as, for example, Athens was relegated to poverty in the aftermath of the Persian and later Peloponnesian invasions. Hanson's study shows, however, that in reality attacks on agriculture rarely resulted in famines or permanent agrarian depression. Trees and vines are hard to destroy, and grainfields are only briefly vulnerable to torching. In addition, ancient armies were rather inefficient systematic ravagers and instead used other tactics, such as occupying their enemies' farms to incite infantry battle. Warfare and Agriculture in Classical Greece suggests that for all ancient societies, rural depression and desolation came about from more subtle phenomena-taxes, changes in political and social structure, and new cultural values-rather than from destructive warfare.
