Panhellenes at Methone : graphê in late geometric and protoarchaic Methone, Macedonia (ca. 700 BCE)
Trends in Classics, a new series and journal to be edited by Franco Montanari and Antonios Rengakos, will publish innovative, interdisciplinary work which brings to the study of Greek and Latin texts the insights and methods of related disciplines such as narratology, intertextuality, reader-response criticism, and oral poetics. Both publications will seek to publish research across the full range of classical antiquity. The series Trends in Classics Studies welcomes monographs, edited volumes, conference proceedings and collections of papers; it will provide an important forum for the ongoing debate about where Classics fits in modern cultural and historical studies. The journal Trends in Classics will be published twice a year with approx. 160 pp. per issue. Each year one issue will be devoted to a specific subject with articles edited by a guest editor.

Foreign Founders
Greeks mostly saw themselves as newly arrived, foreigners in the lands that they were occupying. This is true of most mainland Greeks, those who considered themselves migrants to the Aegean and Asia Minor (in what we call the “Dark Ages”), and of the settlers in the new foundations in the Mediterranean and the Black Sea, following the second half of the eighth century BC. Such self-images are quite different from those we meet in the ancient Near East. The city of Eridu, for example, seems to have existed since the creation of the world.¹

Returning Heroes and Greek Colonists
This chapter explores the ‘right of return’. This was accorded to Greeks who went overseas in the great colonizing period and the evidence for it is largely epigraphic.

Ethnicité et colonisation : le réseau d'identité grecque en Sicile
Cet article étudie la formation de 1 ethnicité coloniale grecque sur une base régionale. L'identité collective des \"Grecs vivant en Sicile\" (Sikeliôtai), doit sa formation à une commune expérience coloniale dans une terre nouvelle. Elle avait sa propre expression rituelle quand des theoriai de tous les Sikeliôtai offraient un sacrifice sur l'autel d'Apollon Archegetes à Naxos chaque fois qu'ils naviguaient ek Sikelias (hors de Sicile). Les Sikelôte theoriai étaient l'expression d'un réseau régional et faisaient le lien avec les réseaux panhelléniques des grands sanctuaires. Ce réseau dont la formation est redevable à une \"dynamique du réseau\" était symboliquement orienté vers le point où les premiers colons touchèrent terre à leur arrivée en Sicile. Apollon en Sicile fonctionne d'une manière semblable à Apollon Delphinios (et à Artémis d'Ephèse), tous deux fonctionnant à Massalia comme des divinités dotées d'attributs coloniaux panhelléniques. L'identité coloniale siciliote n'excluait pas d'autres identités, comme la \"syracusienne\", celle du \"colon corinthien\", la dorienne ou la grecque. Elle était rituellement constante et politiquement variable, étant utilisée contre un ennemi commun. This paper examines the formation of colonial Greek ethnicity on a regional basis. The collective identity of the \"Greeks living in Sicily,\" Sikeliôtai,\" was formed by the common experience in a new land. It had its own ritual expression, when theoriai of all Sikeliôtai on the altar of Apollo Archegetes at Naxos whenever sailing ek Sikelias, \"from Sicily.\" Sikelôte theoriai expressed a regional network, and connected with the pan-Hellenic networks of the sanctuaries. It was formed through \"dynamics of network,\" symbolically oriented to the where the earliest Greek colonists arriving in Sicily first touched land. Apollo in Sicily in a similar way to Apollo Delphinios (and Artemis of Ephesos) functioned at Massalia as with colonial-pan-Hellenic attributes. Sikeliôte Regional identity was not mutually exclusive with other identities, such as \"Syracusan,\" Corinthian colonist, \"Dorian, or Greek. It was constant and politically variable, being used versus a common enemy.

Foundation Myths in Ancient Societies
Throughout the ancient world, origin stories were told across the ancient world in many different ways: through poetry, prose, monumental and decorative arts, and performance in civic and religious rituals. Foundation myths, particularly those about the beginnings of cities and societies, played an important role in the dynamics of identity construction and in the negotiation of diplomatic relationships between communities. Yet many ancient communities had not one but several foundation myths, offering alternative visions and interpretations of their collective origins.
Seeking to explain this plurality,Foundation Myths in Ancient Societiesexplores origin stories from a range of classical and ancient societies, covering both a broad chronological span (from Greek colonies to the high Roman empire) and a wide geographical area (from the central Mediterranean to central Asia). Contributors explore the reasons several different, sometimes contradictory myths might coexist or even coevolve. Collectively, the chapters suggest that the ambiguity and dissonance of multiple foundation myths can sometimes be more meaningful than a single coherent origin narrative.Foundation Myths in Ancient Societiesargues for a both/and approach to foundation myths, laying a framework for understanding them in dialogue with each other and within a wider mythic context, as part of a wider discourse of origins.
