Focusing on lesser-known literary evidence, this volume offers a collection of translated texts that appeal to both political and social economic historians. It includes significant poetry from figures like Crinagoras and Calpurnius Siculus, providing insights into their historical context. An introductory essay lays out a methodological framework for understanding the texts, while brief notes assist readers in navigating the material. This compilation enhances accessibility to previously inaccessible sources, enriching the study of history through diverse literary perspectives.

The first integrated study of Greek religion and cults in the region, showing familiar goddesses in a new light and discussing much new data. It sheds light on many historical issues and processes from the era of archaic Greek colonization to that of the Roman Empire down to the Byzantine era.
