It includes fundamental seismological knowledge and macroseismic observations from the 6th century BC when Seismology, along with Philosophy, was born in this field.

In chapters 1 through 9, the key seismological topics related to the Greek region are developed, which has the highest seismicity throughout western Eurasia.

In chapter 10, a brief description of the macroseismic effects is provided, along with the key parameters of all known strong earthquakes (M≥6.0) that occurred in the Greek region from 550 BC to the present.

The book is unique also for the fact that in each chapter it includes the essential bibliography for the seismological problems of the country where scientific thought was born.

The book is the result of over four decades of research and teaching experience of the first of its authors and hard work in collecting and processing relevant historical information over the past two decades by the second of its authors.
