The Society for Classical Studies introduced the Erich S. Gruen Prize for graduate research on multiculturalism in the ancient Mediterranean in 2020 in honor of the namesake and his prolific work on ethnicity in antiquity. Published the same year, Ethnicity in the Ancient World: Did It Matter? brings together six previously published and five new essays. The stated objective is “to approach ancient ethnicity through the lenses of the ancients themselves rather than through the imposition of our categories, labels, definitions, or theoretical frameworks” (p. 5). To that end, Gruen marshals an impressive array of relevant Greek and Roman texts, ranging in date from the fifth century BCE to the second century CE and representing multiple authors and literary genres.
This study raises that difficult and complicated question on a broad front, taking into account the expressions and attitudes of a wide variety of Greek, Roman, Jewish, and early Christian sources, including Herodotus, Polybius, Cicero, Philo, and Paul. It approaches the topic of ethnicity through the lenses of the ancients themselves rather than through the imposition of modern categories, labels, and frameworks. A central issue guides the course of the work: did ancient writers reflect upon collective identity as determined by common origins and lineage or by shared traditions and culture?
