Uncover a detailed examination of ancient geopolitical ambitions in "Atena i Pelazgi = Athenians and Pelasgians" by historian and archaeologist Salmedin Mesihović. This work delves into the historical context surrounding an Athenian attempt to establish a colony, or apoikia, in the Adriatic during the 4th century BCE, as evidenced by an epigraphic monument from Piraeus detailing the law of Kephisophon.

Mesihović reconstructs the strategic motivations behind Athens' pursuit of overseas expansion, revealing their efforts to control vital maritime routes and revive their influence in the region. The book also illuminates the significant presence and threat posed by the Etruscans in the Adriatic during this era, alongside the emerging pressure from Illyrian communities. This study offers insights into the complex interactions between these ancient powers and their impact on the Adriatic's historical landscape.
