Description

The temples and theatres of the ancient Greek world are widely known, but there is less familiarity with the houses in which people lived.

In this book, Lisa Nevett provides an accessible introduction to the varied forms of housing found across the Greek world between c. 1000 and 200 BCE. Many houses adopted a courtyard structure which she sets within a broader chronological, geographical and socio-economic context.

The book explores how housing shaped - and was shaped by - patterns of domestic life, at Athens and in other urban communities.

It also points to a rapid change in the scale, elaboration and layout of the largest houses.

This is associated with a shift away from expressing solidarity with peers in the local urban community towards advertising personal status and participation in a network of elite households which stretched across the Mediterranean.

Instructors, students and general readers will welcome this stimulating volume.
