Contributors from across the globe examine the transformation and co-construction of ancient landscapes through natural and human processes. Their essays consider a range of evidence, from myths and philosophical treatises to epigraphic evidence and archaeological remains, but they all reveal the ways in which humankind constructs stories about its environment — and how these stories facilitate the construction of ancient environments as living entities, respondent (maybe even vulnerable) to human actions and decision-making.
Esther Eidinow is Professor of Ancient History at the University of Bristol, UK. She is a series editor for the Bloomsbury series Ancient Environments, and, among many other publications, is author of Luck, Fate, and Fortune: Antiquity and its Legacy (Bloomsbury 2011) and co-editor of Ancient Divination and Experience (2019). Christopher Schliephake is Assistant Professor of Ancient History at Augsburg University, Germany. His books include The Environmental Humanities and the Ancient World (2020) and as editor Ecocritisim, Ecology and Cultures in Antiquity (2017).
