SUMMARY OR ABSTRACT
Text of Note
"The topic of the papers presented at the congress "Keimelion" are conspicuous consumption and other strategies of the elites in the Aegean from the time of the Mycenaean palace states, from the post-palatial period and the time of the new formation of the Greek world in the first millenium BC. New interpretations of hte Homeric epics and of the numerous archaeological finds, which have come to light in recent years, will promote the understanding of the elites of these periods. These elites defined themselves through e.g. conspicuous consumption, and thus distinguished themselves as elites from the rest of the population and of their neighbors. At the same time these elitist strategies were used to secure the following of the common people, and in diplomacy to promote their own high status and to establish international contacts."--Jacket.
