The events related to individual cities and regions, although geographically very distant from each other, are linked through an articulated network of material and immaterial relations and have to be considered as part of a broader mobility process in a Mediterranean perspective. The intention of 'Comparing Greek Colonies' is to bring geographically and culturally distant regions such as Southern Italy/Sicily and the Black Sea, closer together, not merely to find 'similarities and differences,' but to broaden the scholars' perspective and overcome existing, generalizing, and biased models, that are often rooted in local scientific traditions"--Publisher's website.
