Archaic Greece: New Approaches and New Evidence7 | None | 2,353,263 | None | None | The study of archaic Greece (c. 750-480 BC) is being transformed by exciting discoveries and interpretations.

Texts, from Homer and Hesiod to a newly-found poem of Simonides, are given fresh interpretations. And there are new studies of developments in maritime warfare, the roles of literacy and law-making in Crete, the emergence of a less violent Greek life-style, and the articulation of political thought.… (more) |
