The book GREECE OF THE SEA aims to narrate, in its own ways, a millennia-old story, the relationship of the Greeks with the sea, their own Mediterranean sea that they shared from the dawn of history with other peoples.
Twenty-seven authors, each from their own perspective and specialty, attempt an approach to the Aegean and the Ionian, as well as generally to the Mediterranean across time and dimensions.
Sailors, navigation, ships, ports, the movement of goods, the economy, architecture, music and songs, visual perception and literary inspiration, traditional attire and everyday life, pirates and corsairs, the slave trade, shipwrecks, create a colorful mosaic from the meeting of waves with wooden or iron ships, with the islands and the mainland coasts, composing a bustling crowd that moves incessantly over the sea of the Greeks.
