“…The majority of interest in this topic in the Classical and Hellenistic periods has been focused on agriculture, and in particular, the cultivation of the so‐called Mediterranean Triad, consisting of cereals (especially wheat and barley), olives, and grapes. Work on Greek agriculture has until recently largely synthesised literary references and meagre palaeobotanical information (Amigues, ; Amouretti, ; Foxhall, ; Megaloudi, ). The difficulty in relying on literary sources for our understanding of the exploitation of plants, however, is that they often present skewed or contradictory information on their use.…”

This article provides an overview of the environmental history of Classical and Hellenistic Greece with particular reference to material evidence, outlining current trends in work on the relationships between humans and the flora, fauna, and climate of Greece from the fifth to first centuries BCE. Whereas scholars of more modern periods have embraced environmental history, historians of ancient Greece have been slow to do so. Most research on environmental history in the premodern Greek world has focused on prehistoric periods, with only a narrow set of topics relating to Classical and Hellenistic periods discussed, such as deforestation, erosion, and agriculture. In recent decades, however, the increased prominence of subdisciplines dealing with the study of organic archaeological material, such as palaeobotany and zooarchaeology, as well as advances in the archaeological sciences, especially in techniques like stable isotope analysis, has yielded much of interest for historians. I suggest in particular that historians more familiar with written sources or nonorganic archaeological remains can play a crucial rule in contextualizing this evidence by integrating it into their studies of social, economic, and political history. This is especially the case with climate change, evidence of which in the ancient Greek world is rapidly accumulating but with which ancient historians have only begun to contend.

Η παρούσα διατριβή εξετάζει τα στοιχεία που σχετίζονται με τα συστήματα ύδρευσης στην Ελλάδα και την περιοχή Fars (Ιράν) από τον 6ο έως και τον 4ο αιώνα π.Χ. Η εξέταση των συστημάτων ύδρευσης στις δύο περιοχές αποδεικνύει την ύπαρξη ενός εκ των συνθετότερων προβλημάτων στο γνωστό αρχαιολογικό τοπίο. Παρά τη γενικότερη εξοικείωση των αρχαιολόγων με τα συστήματα ύδρευσης των αρχαίων πολιτισμών, η κατανόηση και η εύρεση των καταλοίπων των συστημάτων ύδρευσης ήταν πάντα προβληματική. Η χρήση των αρχαίων καναλιών, συχνά για μεγάλη χρονική περίοδο, προσθέτει στην πολυπλοκότητα και την ερευνητική πρόκληση. Η έρευνα διεξάγεται υπό την προϋπόθεση ότι τα αρχαιολογικά δεδομένα και οι γραπτές μαρτυρίες θα βοηθήσουν σημαντικά, όταν εξετάζονται παράλληλα, συνθέτοντας ένα χάρτη των αρχαίων Ελληνικών και Αχαιμενιδικών πρακτικών ύδρευσης.Η παρούσα μελέτη έχει ως στόχο τη διεύρυνση του διαλόγου γύρω από τις πτυχές των κοινωνικών αλληλεπιδράσεων και της εξέλιξης της ύδρευσης στην κλασσική Ελλάδα και την Αχαιμενιδική Περσία, ώστε να γίνει κατανοητή η οργάνωση του τοπίου στις δύο υπό εξέτασιν περιοχές. Επιπλέον, ερευνά τις σχέσεις, τις ομοιότητες και τις διαφορές ανάμεσα στο τοπίο, το κλίμα και τα υδρευτικά συστήματα τόσο των αστικών οικισμών, όσο αυτών της υπαίθρου, στην Ελλάδα και την Περσία.
