520			_a""I'm going to tell you a great tale, and if you will listen to me, I hope it will please you." The opening line of the Chronicle of the Morea sets the stage for this volume, which examines the late medieval Peloponnese following its conquest by Crusader knights. The Chronicle, other awritten sources, buildings, and excavated finds reveal a bold attempt to establish a new kingdom in a distant land, adding yet another layer to the many levels of habitation of the "island of Pelops." Too often omitted from this myth of Crusader foundation are the large numbers of Orthodox villagers and town dwellers who shared the region and created their own myth of an eternal and sacred empire generated by the pains of loss and the hopes of refoundation. Their remains, though less studied, are also left in the written and material records of the period. Layered upon the historical and physical topography of this region, too, are the traces of the Venetians, whose "right eye," Modon, was located at the southwestern tip of the penisnula. The Turkish layers, revealed in standing fortresses, toponyms, vernacular poetry, and pottery, also left deep traces on the ground and remain in collective memory. How these groups, and others who shared the land, interacted and how they asserted identity are at the center of this volume. At the core of this volume, too, is the understanding of place and memory - the recollection of the ancient history of the Peloponnese, the architectural and cartographic marking of its mountains and valleys, the re-creation of distant capitals on its land, and the re-fashioning of the Morea for a renaissance audience. The authors of this volume look at the Morea and its people in the broadest possible manner and with careful attention to written and material evidence, historiography, economic networks, and the making - or re-telling - of myths." -- Back cover.
