ABSTRACT
If the export of manufactured goods progressed in the archaic period it was not because the manufacturer was urging the ship-owner to find markets for him. For a long time necessaries were supplied by the work of small craftsmen added to that of the family, while luxury was satisfied by beautiful articles from the East. Industry remained thus behind trade until the middle of the VIIIth century. Then, however, the mother cities had to supply their colonies, constantly growing more numerous and wealthier, with arms and utensils, textiles and vases, of every kind. Soon, with the colonies serving as warehouses or manufacturing on their own account, Greece had to supply the increasing demands of the barbarian peoples. It was colonization and trade that set industry in motion.
