| 520 | |a The author argues that in archaic and classical Greece, Panhellenism was a body of narratives that expressed, defined and limited the community of the Hellenes and gave it political substance. Yet Panhellenic narratives also responded to other needs of the community, in particular serving to locate the Hellenes in time and space. Thus, one of the chief Panhellenic narratives, the war against the barbarian, provided the conceptual framework in which Alexander the Great could imagine his Asian campaign. Mitchell (classics and ancient history, U. of Exeter) covers the period starting after the fall of the Mycenaean culture in the tenth century BCE to the conquests of Alexander in the late fourth century BCE, with an epilogue briefly considering later periods. The chapters first define the relationship of Panhellenism to the Hellenic community, then move to address the importance of the Persian Wars in forming the Hellenic identity, Greek cultural relationships with the non-Greek world, and the Alexandrian war against the barbarian.
