Creating a Common Polity Religion, Economy, and Politics in the Making of the Greek Koinon By: Emily Mackil Publisher: University of California Press Print ISBN: 9780520290839, 0520290836 eText ISBN: 9780520953932, 0520953932 Edition: 1st Pages: 624 Format: EPUB Available from $ 34.95 USD SKU: 9780520953932 In the ancient Greece of Pericles and Plato, the polis, or city-state, reigned supreme, but by the time of Alexander, nearly half of the mainland Greek city-states had surrendered part of their autonomy to join the larger political entities called koina. In the first book in fifty years to tackle the rise of these so-called Greek federal states, Emily Mackil charts a complex, fascinating map of how shared religious practices and long-standing economic interactions faciliated political cooperation and the emergence of a new kind of state. Mackil provides a detailed historical narrative spanning five centuries to contextualize her analyses, which focus on the three best-attested areas of mainland Greece—Boiotia, Achaia, and Aitolia. The analysis is supported by a dossier of Greek inscriptions, each text accompanied by an English translation and commentary.
