About the Book

English summary: Although the Greeks are said to be born sailors, the marine world remains a hostile environment that frightened them, and their maritime hegemony-the object of so much intense rivalry-was acquired at the cost of continuous struggle. Jean-Nicolas Corvisier shares this epic story with us from its Creto-Mycenian origins to the Hellenistic Period. Once embarked on this fascinating odyssey, readers will enjoy learning what the daily life of Greek fishermen was like at the time, how sea trade functioned, the role played by the sea in Greek imagination and religion, extraordinary expeditions, perilous battles and famous shipwrecks, pirates, bold travellers and mythical sirens.

French description: Les Grecs, dit-on, sont des marins-nes. La remarque passe pour une certitude. Pour l'appuyer, on evoque le fait qu'aucun point de la Grece n'est a plus de 100 km des cotes, les tribulations d'Ulysse, les colonies implantees dans le bassin mediterraneen, la thalassocratie, l'hegemonie maritime qui fut l'objet de tant de rivalites entre les cites grecques, la flotte de Themistocle, ou encore le celebre Thalassa, thalassa! , prononce, assure Xenophon, par les troupes des mercenaires grecs lors de l'expedition des Dix-Mille. C'est faire bon marche d'une realite pourtant evidente: l'univers marin est un milieu inhospitalier, un element hostile qui effraya les Grecs et qu'ils durent s'approprier au moyen d'un effort sans cesse renouvele.

Jean-Nicolas Corvisier raconte l'histoire de cette conquete a l'issue incertaine depuis ses origines creto-myceniennes jusqu'a la periode hellenistique. Au fil de cette odyssee qui dura plusieurs siecles, le lecteur decouvrira la vie quotidienne des pecheurs, l'organisation du commerce maritime, la place de la mer dans l'imaginaire et la religion grecs, assistera a nombre d'expeditions insolites, de batailles perilleuses et de naufrages fameux et ira a la rencontre de pirates, de voyageurs audacieux ou des mythiques sirenes.

Jean-Nicolas Corvisier est professeur des universites et directeur du CRUSUDMA (cercle de recherches urbanisation, societes urbaines et demographies dans les mondes anciens). Il a notamment publie Philippe II de Macedoine (2002) et Guerre et demographie dans le monde antique (2006).
