Description & Specifications

The temples and theaters of the ancient Greek world are widely known, but fewer people are aware of the homes where people lived. In this book, Lisa Nevett provides an accessible introduction to the diverse forms of housing found throughout the Greek world between 1000 and 200 BC. Many homes adopted a courtyard structure, which is placed in a broader chronological, geographical, and socio-economic context. The book explores how housing shaped - and was shaped by - the habits of domestic life, in Athens and other urban communities. Furthermore, it indicates a rapid change in the scale, refined construction, and layout of larger houses. This is linked to a shift away from expressing solidarity with peers in the local urban community, towards recording personal prestige and participation in a network of elite households spanning the entire Mediterranean. Instructors, students, and general readers will welcome this thought-provoking volume.
