Abstract
This essay, which emphasizes internal migration patterns within Greece, first establishes what is know about rural Greek demographic history over the last few centuries -- mid sixteenth century to the 1980s -- and then explores the implications of this account for understanding Greek village life. Sutton examines four areas in detail: the Achaia Nemea Valley, Amorgos, Kea, and the southern Argolid.
