Description
The first comprehensive treatment of Panhellenism in English, this book explores its significance in archaic and classical Greece. Lynette Mitchell argues that Panhellenism played a crucial role in defining the community of the Hellenes and giving it political substance. Panhellenism also served to locate the Hellenes in time and space, responding to various needs of the community. One key narrative, the war against the barbarian, provided the conceptual framework for Alexander's Asian campaign. By examining this complex phenomenon, Mitchell sheds new light on the cultural and historical context of ancient Greece. Through a systematic analysis, Mitchell reveals Panhellenism as a multifaceted concept that shaped the identity and politics of the Hellenes.
