Description
The houses of ancient Greece are often overlooked in favour of more famous landmarks, but they provide a fascinating glimpse into daily life. Lisa Nevett's book explores the varied forms of housing found across the Greek world between 1000 and 200 BCE, setting them within a broader chronological, geographical, and socio-economic context. Many houses adopted a courtyard structure, which is examined in relation to patterns of domestic life at Athens and other urban communities. The book also reveals how changes in house design reflect shifts in social status and household networks across the Mediterranean. This thought-provoking volume will be of interest to instructors, students, and anyone curious about the history of ancient Greek society. With its accessible approach and engaging focus on everyday life, this book offers a fresh perspective on an often-overlooked aspect of ancient Greece.
