For the first time together in one volume all the papers on Greek colonization published by A. J. Graham over the last forty years. Some of these appeared in publications difficult of access. They will all now be widely available, and thus complement the author's "Colony and Mother City in Ancient Greece" and his two chapters on the subject in "Cambridge Ancient History" III.3, second edition. In addition the volume contains one new paper, not previously published, entitled 'Thasian Controversies' . The published papers are reproduced unchanged, except for the correction of misprints, and the original page-numbering is indicated. All the original figures and illustrations are included. There is a comprehensive, analytical, index.

Page 359 - Not very far from the harbour on their coast, and not so near either, there lies a luxuriant island, covered with woods, which is the home of innumerable goats. The goats are wild, for man has made no pathways that might frighten them off. nor do hunters visit the island with their hounds to rough it in the forests and to range the mountain tops. Used neither for grazing nor for ploughing, it lies forever unsown and untilled and this land where no man goes makes a happy pasture for the bleating goats.
Page 359 - ... plenty of land level enough for the plough, where they could count on cutting a deep crop at every harvest-time, for the soil below the surface is exceedingly rich. Also it has a safe harbour, in which there is no occasion to tie up at all. You need neither cast anchor nor make fast with hawsers: all your crew have to do is to beach their boat and wait till the spirit moves them and the right wind blows. Finally, at the head of the harbour there is a stream of fresh water, running out of a cave...
Page 358 - Our city is surrounded by high battlements: it has an excellent harbour on each side, and is approached by a narrow causeway, where the curved ships are drawn up to the road, and each owner has his separate slip. Here is the people's meeting-place, built up on either side of the fine temple of Poseidon with blocks of quarried stone bedded deeply in the ground.
Page 359 - ... but capable of yielding any crop in due season. Along the shore of the grey sea there are soft watermeadows where the vine would never wither; and there is plenty of land level enough for the plough, where they could count on cutting a deep crop at every harvest-time, for the soil below the surface is exceedingly rich. Also it has a safe harbour, in which there is no occasion to tie up at all. You need neither cast anchor nor make fast with hawsers...
Page 353 - Nestor's cup was fine to drink from. But whoever drinks from this cup will immediately be seized by the desire of fair-crowned Aphrodite." The cup itself and other objects in the same grave may be dated ca. 720 to 710. It has been generally recognized that the humorous graffito shows a familiarity with epic poetry, and the reference to the cup of Nestor is inevitably reminiscent of II Iliad 1 1.632-37.

Page 134 - But this is an argument from silence and it is difficult not to be struck by the fact that the doves in the Odyssey passage seem unexplained and meaningless. Stanford (note ad loc.) finds them "curiously reminiscent...
Page 80 - There is nothing among the finds from the lowest level that appears to belong to any Asiatic people; in this respect there is nothing to differentiate the place from one of the many Greek colonies in Italy or Sicily, or on the Black Sea coast.
Page 319 - ... Here are 6 also deposited other notable things : the sword of Pelops with a golden hilt ; the horn of Amalthea, made of ivory, an offering of that Miltiades, son of Cimon, who was the first of his family to reign in the Thracian Chersonese. On the horn is an inscription in old Attic letters : — I was dedicated as an offering to Olympian Zeus by the men of Chersonese After they had taken the stronghold of Aratus : their leader was Miltiades. There is also a boxwood image of Apollo with the head...
