This book claims it was a network-dynamics of Small World formation that rapidly foreshortened Mediterranean spaces, thus allowing the flows of civilizational content and self-aware notions of collective identity to overlap and proliferate.

This book is a study of the variable perceptions of Greek collective identity, discussing ancient categories such as blood- and mythically-related primordiality, language, religion, and culture. It considers complex middle grounds of intra-Hellenic perceptions, oppositional identities, and outsiders' views.

This study of early Greek exploration makes a contribution to discussions of the encounters between Greeks and non-Greeks. The text focuses in particular on myths about Odysseus and other heroes who visited foreign lands on their mythical voyages homeward after the Trojan War.
