is a scholarly monograph by Stanley Mayer Burstein, originally published in 1976. It serves as a political history of Heraclea Pontica from its foundation in approximately 560 BC to its emergence as the dominant Greek power on the southern Black Sea coast in 281 BC. Core Historical Narrative

The text examines the city's role as a vital "outpost of Hellenism," maintaining its Greek identity for nearly 1,800 years until the Ottoman conquest in 1360 AD. Key areas of focus include:

: A central theme is the 84-year rule of the Clearchid dynasty (364–281 BC), which navigated the turbulent wars of Alexander the Great and his successors (the Diadochi). Notable rulers like Dionysius and Amastris utilized pragmatic diplomacy to expand Heraclean territory.

: Founded by colonists from Megara and Boeotia, the city quickly subjugated the native Mariandynoi, treating them as serfs similar to Spartan helots. This labor supported a wealthy state that eventually founded its own colonies, such as Chersonesus and Callatis.
