Luoghi della relazione nella Grecia antica

[Autom. eng. transl.] In the history of the archaic Greek world, the concept of "relationship" has great importance for understanding historical evolution. The importance of the concept of relationship is reflected, of course, by the importance of meeting places. Places of worship, ports and markets, for example, played a primary role in the archaic age in fostering the development of a society less prone to isolation and self-sufficiency, open to different cultural influences. Later, Greek civilization has consistently made use, both at the local level, within the single community, and at Panhellenic level, of meeting places with the most diverse characteristics: religious, political, social and cultural. In these meeting places the Greeks met, and sometimes clashed, with each other and with others, establishing sometimes conflicting relationships but often presupposed significant developments.
