Michael Shanks has written a challenging contribution to recent debates on the emergence of the Greek city states in the first millennium BC. He interprets the art and archaeological remains of Korinth to elicit connections among new urban environments, foreign trade, warfare, and the ideology of male sovereignty. His interdisciplinary perspective draws on an anthropologically informed archaeology, ancient history, art history, material culture studies and structural approaches to the classics, and raises large questions about the links between design and manufacture, political and social structure, and culture and ideology.
