Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book investigates the development of Greek society through the lens of its founding social groups and their influence on the evolution of Greek culture. The author traces the origins of Greek identity back to a prehistoric era, where the "Peasants-Builders of the Valley" established a rural, egalitarian existence in fertile valleys. However, tensions within these communities led to the emergence of an opposing group, the "Bandits of the Mountain." These marginalized individuals, forced to seek refuge in the mountains, developed a distinct ethos characterized by independence, violence, and an affinity for the wild. This book theorizes that the "Bandits of the Mountain" played a pivotal role in shaping Greek mythology, religion, and political structures, influencing the rise of deities such as Zeus and heroes like Heracles. Through the exploration of these two contrasting social groups, this book provides a nuanced understanding of the complex forces that shaped the trajectory of Greek civilization.
