The
book includes
26 English and 2 French
texts written by 35 archaeologists-excavators of 32 Greek colonies around
the Black Sea. This research renews
interest in Greek colonization,
particularly in Euxeinos Pontos. For the first time new
archaeological materials from all around
the Circumpontic region have
been concentrated in a unique publication. The material has been
studied
directly by the excavators, making this a unique example of hands-on
research. The introduction to the ancient Greek Colonization of the Euxeinos Pontos is written by
E. K. Petropoulos, Ph.D in
Ancient History from the M.V. Lomonosov State University of Moscow,
an expert in the history and archaeology of the
area and its people.
Elias K.
Petropoulos is a Lecturer at the Department of Languages, Literature
and Civilization of the Countries around the Black Sea,
Democritus University of
Thrace. (e-mail:
