Race as a concept has had a fraught role in the history of Classics, woven into its formation as an academic discipline. While the texts and artefacts of the ancient Mediterranean world provide complex understandings of what race might mean and how it might operate, they have also provided fodder for modern racial ideologies. This Companion offers a wide-ranging and groundbreaking overview of 'race' and 'racism' in ancient Mediterranean cultures as well as in the formation of Classics as a discipline. Through twenty-four chapters written by a team of international scholars, it clarifies the terms and concepts that are central to contemporary theories of race and explores the extent to which they can be applied to the study of the ancient Mediterranean world, in and beyond Greece and Rome. It also showcases various concrete examples of how Classics has been shaped by the intertwined histories of race and colonialism.

Apollonius and the Poetics of Controversy is a literary study of Apollonius’ Argonautica against the backdrop of the contentious scholarly environment of the Alexandrian Library during its golden age. Jackie Murray analyzes the epic as a sophisticated participant in the intellectual and scientific debates of the era, arguing that Apollonius deliberately engages with his contemporaries in literary, philosophical, astronomical, historical, and mythological controversies to establish his own epistemic authority as an epic poet and give weight to his radical version of the Argo’s voyage. The study highlights how the Argonautica creates intellectual space for competing truth claims to coexist, transforming the epic from a vehicle for traditional storytelling into a stage for dynamic intellectual inquiry. Ultimately, Jackie Murray argues that Apollonius redefines what it means for an epic to be truly "Homeric", i.e., to incite scholarly controversies.
