Redes e comunidades paradigmáticas de colonizadores, refugiados, fugitivos, evacuados na historiografia grega

This article aims to discuss, using texts from Greek historians and a philological-historiographical approach, key terms and passages from the lexicon that make up the semantic field on exile, deportation, banishment and initiatives to establish migrant networks and communities. Although, as a rule, the passages examined are limited to verifying and describing the migratory phenomenon, showing little interest in the initiatives of the migrants themselves, the present investigation aims to demonstrate that the establishment of support networks and communities in Greek antiquity was not a phenomenon identifiable only in the larger sphere of relations between polis and empires, but already in the smaller scope of everyday relations between individuals and groups who moved for various reasons; and that the fact that migrating does not seem to have been seen as a problem, but as a common, if not even predictable, phenomenon.
