But Robert Garland argues that the Greeks were highly mobile, that their movement was essential to the survival, success, and sheer sustainability of their society, and that this wandering became a defining characteristic of their culture. Addressing a neglected but essential subject, Wandering Greeks focuses on the diaspora of tens of thousands of people between about 700 and 325 BCE, demonstrating the degree to which Greeks were liable to be forced to leave their homes due to political upheaval, oppression, poverty, warfare, or simply a desire to better themselves. Attempting to enter into the mind-set of these wanderers, the book provides an insightful and sympathetic account of what it meant for ancient Greeks to part from everyone and everything they held dear, to start a new life elsewhere-or even to become homeless, living on the open road or on the high seas with no end to their journey in sight. Each chapter identifies a specific kind of "wanderer," including the overseas settler, the deportee, the evacuee, the asylum-seeker, the fugitive, the economic migrant, and the itinerant, and the book also addresses repatriation and the idea of the "portable polis." The result is a vivid and unique portrait of ancient Greece as a culture of displaced persons.GreeksMigrationsHistoryTo 1500GreeceSocial conditionsTo 146 B.CGreeceCivilizationTo 146 B.CArchaic Greece.Athenian law.Greek antiquity.Greek citizenship.Greek civilization.Greek identity.Greek-speaking world.Ionian migration.L'esprit de retour.Mediterranean world.adaptability.ancient Greece.anestios.aphrtr.apolis.asulia.asylum-seeker.asylum.civic identity.criminals.cultural homogeneity.democracy.deportation.deportee.deportees.diaspora.displaced persons.economic migrant.economic migrants.economic migration.entrepreneurship.ethnic cleansing.evacuation.evacuee.exile.exiles.familial identity.financial destitution.fugitives.hostilities.human resource.humanitarian agencies.itinerants.land hunger.legal battles.local sanctuary.long-distance travelers.mass deportation.migrants.migration.mobility.oikos.oligarch persuasion.overpopulation.overseas settler.ownership.panhellenic institutions.phratry.phug.pioneers.polis.political identity.political opponents.political pressure.political upheavals.portable polis.prosecution.radical upheaval.refuge.refugees.relocation.repatriation.resource fluctuations.returnees.sanctuary.servile labor.settlements.settlers.social identity.starvation.stasis.tyranny.voluntary flight.wanderer.wartime evacuations.GreeksMigrationsHistory938HIS002010HIS002000bisacshGarland Robert1947-1169816MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910791047703321Wandering Greeks3804533UNINA
