Ancient Greek Agriculture An Introduction

The initial focus of Ancient Greek Agriculture is firmly on the art of agriculture proper, the tools and the technique, the plants cultivated and the animals reared. Thereafter, Isager and Skydsgaard focus on the position of agriculture in the society of gods and men in the Greek city-states . The arguments of Ancient Greek Agriculture are strengthened by the book's close adherence to contemporary Greek sources, literary as well as archaeological, avoiding the use of later as well as Roman material.

  • "Scholars have long believed agriculture to be the main economic base of Ancient Greece, and until now, this view remained uncontested. Ancient Greek Agriculture examines the art of cultivation, the tools, the technique, the plants cultivated and the animals raised. In light of the fact that Greek agriculture in the period of the city-states was rather primitive, the authors question whether agriculture was, in fact, the main source of wealth in Ancient Greece. Ancient Greek Agriculture relies upon the close study of contemporary Greek sources--literary as well as archaeological--and in this way avoids the use of Roman sources and other materials from a later period."
