My 'Megarian moment' began exactly twenty-five years ago at McGill University, with a master's thesis on Boioita, which opened the door to my interest in this region of central Greece and its Archaic migrations. So much has changed in the last quarter-century in regard to our approaches to ancient history that this paper affords me the opportunity to revisit old topics and to include newer ones that have emerged in the meantime. I divide my paper into two parts. The first part is devoted to some historiographical remarks regarding approaches, mainly modern but ancient too, and picks up on some developments from this twenty-five-year-long window that I believe require highlighting. The second part brings to bear my work on the Megarians of Sicily and how this perspective permits me to address the nexus between localism and diaspora in the Megarian world.

The terms of twentieth–century debate on the causes of Greek overseas settlement were set by Gwynn and Blakeway: overseas settlements were either founded to feed hungry mouths in an overpopulated homeland, or they were founded to improve Greek trading opportunities in the rest of the Mediterranean and Black Sea. Although the trade versus agriculture dichotomy is increasingly being regarded as false, its legacy lingers on, even in recent work. Detailed attention to the earliest remains at one of the best–known Greek overseas settlements, Megara Hyblaia in south–east Sicily, provides strong evidence in favour of seeing agriculture as central to Greek settlement abroad, but agriculture as a basis for trade rather than agriculture for its own sake.

La Sicilia è stata da tempo riconosciuta come un punto focale per l’importazione e la distribuzione di oggetti prodotti nel Mediterraneo Orientale durante l'età arcaica (VIII-V secolo a.C.). Gli Orientalia sono stati rinvenuti in insediamenti Greci, Fenici, ed indigeni, deposti in tombe e santuari. Tuttavia è stato spesso attribuito all’isola un ruolo passivo nel ricevere e ridistribuire gli oggetti, invece che concentrarsi sulla sua partecipazione attiva nella complessa rete di contatti culturali e commerciali che era il Mediterraneo arcaico. Inoltre, mentre si dà per scontato che i mercanti Fenici prendessero parte nell’importazione e distribuzione degli oggetti, lo stesso non si può dire a proposito dei Greci di Sicilia.
In questo intervento ci proponiamo di esaminare il ruolo di Siracusa come centro principale per la distribuzione e importazione degli Orientalia nella Sicilia Orientale. Una notevole quantità di oggetti prodotti nel Mediterraneo Orientale sono stati rinvenuti nel territorio di Siracusa e negli insediamenti confinanti. Dall’analisi di questi oggetti, della loro datazione, contesto, e provenienza, stabiliremo il ruolo avuto da Siracusa nella loro importazione e distribuzione. Suggeriamo infine che i mercanti Siracusani si inserirono nella rete di rotte commerciali che già dall’VIII secolo a.C. portavano Orientalia in Sicilia, e probabilmente ne assunsero il monopolio.
Questo intervento è il primo passo verso un approccio differente allo studio dei contatti tra la Sicilia arcaica e il Mediterraneo Orientale attraverso l’analisi delle attività commerciali dei mercanti Siracusani, nonché un contributo alla discussione riguardante la complessa rete di connessioni e scambi commerciali e culturali nel Mediterraneo arcaico.
