Cambridge Comp to Archaic Greece by H. A. Shapiro
10 articles about the early history of ancient Greece, roughly the period from 800 to 500 BCE, so even before the so-called 'Golden Age'. As is often the case with this type of collection, the quality is quite uneven, but I noticed that the content is usually specialized and rather technical. Also, the bibliography rarely includes anything younger than the year 2000, which says enough as well. Personally, I enjoyed the articles by Kurke on archaic poetry and Nightingale on philosophy the most.

Women in the Classical World: Image and Text by Elaine Fantham
An excellent piece of feminist scholarship. Useful in broadening understanding of what the ancient Mediterranean was like.
