About this Item

234pp, illus. Quasar, 2022. NUOVO --- "The contributions collected in this volume aim to highlight one of the most important features of the political history of ancient Sicily, namely the emergence of personages who, in various forms, imposed monocratic power over time. The presence of autocratic forms of power can already be observed within the mythological tradition, which has given us stories of strong, authoritarian personalities who, through their actions, contributed greatly to the development of territories. This is the fundamental characteristic that tradition attributed to the numerous tyrants, undisputed protagonists of the island s history. This is what emerges from archaeological research, which has shown an important growth in the poleis affected by tyranny as early as the Early Archaic period."
