The emeritus ancient historian Prof. Dr. Hans-Joachim Gehrke, former president of the German Archaeological Institute, speaks about migration in ancient Greece. In doing so, he looks at both the current state of research and new perspectives. Lecture as part of the lecture series "Migration. Migration movements from antiquity to the present" of the Cluster of Excellence Topoi in the summer semester of 2016 at the Free University of Berlin. The lecture series places the controversial topic in a broad historical context from prehistory to late antiquity and from the Middle Ages to the present. Terms and concepts are questioned: Who exactly "migrates", for what reasons and with what consequences? In which periods do historical migration movements occur - and is there really such a thing as "migrations of peoples", or has it ever happened? The perspectives of historians and archaeologists are supplemented by contributions from sociology, theology, genetics, literary studies and museology.
