In the mythological story of Jason and the Argonauts in search of the golden fleece, and in the histories of Herodotus, the Black Sea trepresents both fabled lands and opportunity for exploration, travel and trade. This book chronicles the activities and evidence for Greeks round the Black Sea from the Mycenaean and Homeric ages through Classical Greece, the Eastern Roman Empire and the Byzantine era and beyond to the present day. This generously illustrated book was published to coincide with The Greeks in the Black Sea' exhibition at King's College London last year.
