This volume brings together specialists from a broad demographic and professional range – academics, museum curators, students, and content creators – to discuss case studies, challenges, and potential future avenues for public scholarship on the history, archaeology, and cultures of the ancient Mediterranean, North Africa and Western Asia.Together, the contributions promote the creation of inclusive methods of knowledge mobilisation and communication in public spheres across three main areas: cultural heritage, pedagogy and public-facing scholarship. These areas have all been directly affected by Eurocentric structures that have claimed ownership of ancient Mediterranean cultural heritage and have dictated how it has been taught in schools and communicated to the broader public. The volume is divided into three sections – Museums, Teaching and Learning, and Global and Local Projects – each addressing pressing challenges faced within these interrelated fields and offering ways for us to overcome the exclusionary narratives that plague them.Ancient Pasts for Modern Audiences provides an invaluable resource for those interested in public history, from academics to lay audiences, in the fields of Ancient Mediterranean, North African, and Western Asian Studies. The book also appeals to professionals and researchers whose interests lie in public-facing scholarship, pedagogy, digital humanities, decolonisation studies, museum studies and popular media.The Open Access version of this book, available at http://www.taylorfrancis.com, has been made available under a Creative Commons Attribution-Non Commercial-No Derivatives (CC BY-NC-ND) 4.0 license.

This book offers a new interpretation of the site of ancient Tainaron, the mythological entrance to the Greek underworld, by presenting a complete overview of its roles, functions, and significance throughout history.Located on the southernmost tip of the Mani peninsula in Greece, Tainaron is surrounded by a vast stretch of Mediterranean Sea. The perceived remoteness of the site, coupled with its stark, barren landscape, lends itself well to Tainaron’s most famous role as the entrance to Hades. Despite its fame and alluring reputation, Tainaron remains largely misunderstood, since its various functions – a sanctuary to Poseidon, a Hellenistic mercenary gathering place, and a marble quarrying site – are often examined in isolation rather than holistically. Gardner argues that Tainaron’s various roles are, in fact, closely intertwined and directly related to its perceived liminality. Through a comprehensive examination of the historical, epigraphic, and archaeological evidence, this work situates the site of Tainaron within the historical narrative of the ancient Mediterranean.Tainaron in Classical Antiquity appeals to students and scholars in the fields of Classics, Ancient History, and Classical Archaeology, particularly those interested in sacred landscapes, sanctuaries, and the history and archaeology of Lakonia.
