Samenvatting | The Mediterranean has nurtured three of the most dazzling civilizations of antiquity-Egypt, Greece and Rome. It has witnessed the birth or growth of three of our greatest religions-Judaism, Christianity and Islam. It links three of the world's six continents-Europe, Asia and Africa. To the peoples living around its periphery, it has served at various time as a cradle and a grave, a bond and a barrier, a blessing and a battlefield. It has inspired writers from Homer and Virgil to Norman Douglas and Patrick Leigh Fermor. Geographically, it is unlike any other sea in the world; in historical importance also, it stands alone. |
