Paperback. Condizione: New. Print on Demand. This book is a critical study of the depiction of Ethiopia and Ethiopians in ancient Greek sources. The author examines how these sources influenced and were influenced by the historical and cultural contexts of their time. The author argues that the portrayal of Ethiopia and its people in Greek literature was shaped by a complex interplay of factors, including Greek perceptions of race, geography, and their own political and social structures. This book explores the ways in which these factors contributed to the development of a largely negative view of Ethiopia and Ethiopians in Greek thought, which lasted for centuries. The author's analysis draws on a wide range of sources, including literary texts, historical accounts, and archaeological evidence, offering a comprehensive examination of the subject. The book provides valuable insights into the complex and often contradictory ways in which ancient Greek writers viewed and interacted with the African continent and its people.
