Description:
This book pays tribute to the unknown pioneers of the Mediterranean: the Chalcidians. To these Euboean seafarers, who from the 12th to the 4th century BC, founded more colonies than any other Greek metropolis of the ancient world, on the shores of the Middle East, Asia Minor, Africa, Illyria and, mainly, Halkidiki in northern Greece, Italy and Sicily. The new worlds that they created especially in the last two regions, preceding all other Greeks, paved the way for the birth of Greater Greece and modern Western Civilization. All these homelands far from home and their historical path, from their prosperity to their fall, are gathered and presented in detail, for the first time, in one document. At the same time, the important ―but also unknown― naval, military and cultural superiority of their metropolis, Chalcis, over the other Greek cities, mainly during the 8th century BC, which was its own Golden Age, is highlighted. The book is available in two different editions: One in Greek and one in English.
