"... [a] new and appealing addition to the debates about 'what is archaeology'... Morris comes to interesting conclusions about how the Greeks, defining their relationship to a 'better' past and an alien but enticing 'East,' controlled their environment and constructed a domestic and political space requiring slavery and sharp gender distinctions." CHOICE "Ian Morris' new book is a blast of fresh air ..." Journal of Hellenic Studies "The way in which he ha sintegrated the archaeology is masterful ..." Antiquity
