초록
Pithekoussai on the island of Ischia in the Bay of Naples is the first foundation of Greek people in the west who, among others, came from the island of Euboea in Central Greece in the eighth century B.C. The present study aims to understand how the Euboean settlers constructed their identity in a new environment and under the experience of encountering various people with different cultural backgrounds. Based on a comparison of mortuary data from the Protogeometric cemeteries at Lefkandi on the island of Euboea in Central Greece and the earliest burials in Pithekoussai, it will be argued that the first settlers preserved key aspects of their funerary rituals and, thus, their identity. However, at the same time they adjusted to the inter-cultural environment by replacing elements of their own culture by ‘foreign’ elements. The results of the examination are well understandable from a postcolonial perspective in which Pithekoussai, though founded by Euboeans, can be interpreted as a third place in which identities were re-negotiated and newly created.
Abstract
Pithekoussai on the island of Ischia in the Bay of Naples is the first foundation of Greek people in the west who, among others, came from the island of Euboea in Central Greece in the eighth century B.C. The present study aims to understand how the Euboean settlers constructed their identity in a new environment and under the experience of encountering various people with different cultural backgrounds. Based on a comparison of mortuary data from the Protogeometric cemeteries at Lefkandi on the island of Euboea in Central Greece and the earliest burials in Pithekoussai, it will be argued that the first settlers preserved key aspects of their funerary rituals and, thus, their identity. However, at the same time they adjusted to the inter-cultural environment by replacing elements of their own culture by ‘foreign’ elements. The results of the examination are well understandable from a postcolonial perspective in which Pithekoussai, though founded by Euboeans, can be interpreted as a third place in which identities were re-negotiated and newly created.
