Unthinking the Greek Polis - Vlassopoulos, Kostas (Associate Professor in Greek History, University of Nottingham)

This 2007 study explores how modern scholars came to write Greek history from a Eurocentric perspective and challenges orthodox readings of Greek history centred on the polis. It proposes an intriguing way of writing Greek history, by situating the Greek world within the wider Mediterranean and Near Eastern world-system.
