The purpose of this closing section of the book is primarily to open some further lines of thought and enquiry by considering subsequent developments in theatre and performance around the Black Sea, as the region passed through the Hellenistic, Roman and ultimately Christian-Byzantine worlds. I shall attempt this in three sections, which may well seem at first to be very different and unrelated, but which will emerge as parts of a connected phenomenon, centred upon mimed story-dance, comedy and satyr-play through this extended period, but especially in the southern coastlands of the Euxine, importantly separated (but not cut off) from the elevated Anatolian hinterlands by high mountains and enjoying a notably wetter and more verdant landscape by the sea. This permeable mountain barrier, however, co-exists with other linkages (primarily maritime) across and around the Black Sea, even in the Propontis and beyond.
