Caria and Crete in Antiquity: Cultural Interaction between Anatolia and the Aege

Description: Caria and Crete in Antiquity by Naomi Carless Unwin Estimated delivery 3-12 business days Format Paperback Condition Brand New Description Mythologies shaped identities; this book examines what regional mythologies reveal about the social and cultural orientation of Caria in antiquity. Although the Carians were an Anatolian people, their integration into the mythological framework of the Greek world reveals that interaction with the Aegean was a fundamental aspect of their history. Publisher Description A persistent tradition existed in antiquity linking Caria with the island of Crete. This central theme of regional history is mirrored in the civic mythologies, cults and toponyms of southwestern Anatolia. This book explains why by approaching this diverse body of material with a broad chronological view, taking into account both the origins of this regional narrative and its endurance. It considers the mythologies in the light of archaeologically attested contacts during the Bronze Age, exploring whether such interaction could have left a residuum in later traditions. The continued relevance of this aspect of Carian history is then considered in the light of contacts during the Classical and Hellenistic periods, with analysis of how, and in which contexts, traditions survived. The Carians were an Anatolian people; however, their integration into the mythological framework of the Greek world reveals that interaction with the Aegean was a fundamental aspect of their history. Author Biography Naomi Carless Unwin is a Research Fellow at the Center for Hellenic Studies at Harvard University. She has been involved for many years in the archaeological excavations at the sanctuary of Labraunda in Caria, focusing particularly on the epigraphy of the site.
