Synopsis

Explore the roots of ancient Greece and the dawn of the Mycenaean world. This rigorously researched volume traces how early cultures interacted, traded, and influenced the birth of Greek civilization through archaeology, ethnology, and linguistic study.

This edition surveys the first stirrings of the Homeric age, the movements of the Acheans, and the networks that connected Mycenae with Epirus, Thessaly, and beyond. It weighs competing claims about who built the earliest Greek culture and what language the first poets spoke, offering a clear picture of a complex, interconnected prehistoric Europe.

• Examines the spread of early Greek art, trade, and ideas across the Balkan peninsula and Italy.


• Considers how migration, intermarriage, and religious cults shaped cultural change in the Homeric world.


• Shows how linguistic evidence from Aeolic and other Greek dialects informs questions of origin and influence.


• Offers a framework for understanding how conquest and contact fostered cultural transformation.

Ideal for readers of archaeology and ancient history who seek a clear, evidence-based view of Greece’s earliest ages.

A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

The present work is an attempt to aid in the solution of some of the chief problems of early Greek history by the employment of the inductive method. The nature of the questions involved rendered it necessary to deal to a considerable extent with the early archaeology and ethnology of the upper Balkan peninsula, centralE urope and I taly. The first vohime treats of the montimental, traditional and linguistic aspects of the subject, whilst the second volume, which is now in the press and will shortly be issued, will chiefiv deal with institutions and reliofion. The general ])rinciples dt Vflojjcd in th( ])resent work have already I xcii put forward before S(. Veral learned bodies and in sevei al journals; the references to th(se ])ublicati()ns are given at the beginning of each chapter in which the j)ai-ticular doctrine has l)een e.]);indcd. I have been encouraged to pi-dceed with my iii est igat ions by the fivoiii abhicception which my tirst attempts have i-ec(nve lfi-om men so eminent in their own depai tment sas M.

Présentation de l'éditeur

This book was originally published prior to 1923, and represents a reproduction of an important historical work, maintaining the same format as the original work. While some publishers have opted to apply OCR (optical character recognition) technology to the process, we believe this leads to sub-optimal results (frequent typographical errors, strange characters and confusing formatting) and does not adequately preserve the historical character of the original artifact. We believe this work is culturally important in its original archival form. While we strive to adequately clean and digitally enhance the original work, there are occasionally instances where imperfections such as blurred or missing pages, poor pictures or errant marks may have been introduced due to either the quality of the original work or the scanning process itself. Despite these occasional imperfections, we have brought it back into print as part of our ongoing global book preservation commitment, providing customers with access to the best possible historical reprints. We appreciate your understanding of these occasional imperfections, and sincerely hope you enjoy seeing the book in a format as close as possible to that intended by the original publisher.
