Graham Shipley, “Space and place in early Hellenistic and Classical Messenia”
Prof. Graham Shipley (University of Leicester)
Abstract: In this lecture I plan to outline some developing reflections on Classical and early Hellenistic Messenia as a dynamic landscape, attempting to apply concepts such as regionality, civic territories, and routes as well as certain geographical notions explored by the late Yi-Fu Tuan. What kind of meanings should we expect places, and the spaces between them, to have accrued both before and after the end of Spartan domination?
