Several passages in Diodorus introduce the concept of the opposition between continent on the one hand and sea and island environment on the other. The issue, which Diodorus takes from classical sources, includes not only geographical but also political perspectives, which emerge in instances where the transformability of the geopolitical environment is alluded to (13, 47, 3-5: Boeotia and Euboea), as well the relationship between different geographical environment and hegemony (9, 25, 1-2: Lydians and islanders) or ecumenical perspectives that overcome the opposition between the two spheres (1, 55, 2-4: Pharaoh Sesostri's conquests; 18, 4: Alexander's political projects).

Diversi passi di Diodoro introducono il concetto di contrapposizione tra continente da una parte e mare e ambiente isolano dall’altra. La questione, che Diodoro riprende dalle fonti classiche, comprende prospettive non solo geografiche ma anche politiche, che emergono in casi in cui si allude alla trasformabilità dell’ambiente geopolitico (13, 47, 3-5: la Beozia e l’Eubea), al rapporto tra differente ambiente geografico ed egemonia (9, 25, 1-2: Lidi e isolani), a prospettive di carattere ecumenico che superano la contrapposizione tra le due sfere (1, 55, 2-4: le conquiste del faraone Sesostri; 18, 4: i progetti politici di Alessandro).

Abstract

Several passages in Diodorus introduce the concept of the opposition between continent on the one hand and sea and island environment on the other. The issue, which Diodorus takes from classical sources, includes not only geographical but also political perspectives, which emerge in instances where the transformability of the geopolitical environment is alluded to (13, 47, 3-5: Boeotia and Euboea), as well the relationship between different geographical environment and hegemony (9, 25, 1-2: Lydians and islanders) or ecumenical perspectives that overcome the opposition between the two spheres (1, 55, 2-4: Pharaoh Sesostri's conquests; 18, 4: Alexander's political projects).
