The Mediterranean world is a model that serves the analysis of the dynamic process of cultural identity through approximation and differentiation, through openness and self-assertion, through a constant contact - by way of travel - to foreign regions, cultures and societies. For ancient Greek culture, mobility seems to be a specific characteristic. The same can be said for the Christian, Judaic and Islamic Middle Ages, however, under different or changed circumstances. This publication presents the contributions to an international workshop in cultural analysis, which focused on mobility as a proof of the historical flexibility of Mediterranean cultural systems.

The World of Hesiod (1936) examines the world of the Ancient Greeks before Ionian rationalism and the civilisation of Athens. Lying between the Heroic Age and the Lyric Age, Hesiod and the Geometric potters and painters set the scene for the economic, political and social changes that were to follow.
