From the arrival of the first men in Greece to the fall of the Mycenaean palace-town in the thirteenth century B.C., this work captures the essential qualities of each period of pre-classical civilization: the slow development of the Neolithic culture, the rich and original Early Bronze Age, the fruitful yet tragic encounter between Minoans and Mycenaean Empire. The legacy of Mycenaean religion and art is reviewed, including material found in excavated palaces and their stored wealth of frescoes, carved ivories, silver and gold jewelry, vases, and bronze weapons. The author deals with the invasions of Greece, the growth of a Greek language and some of the problems of Linear B, and the impact of Crete and the East upon the mainstream of Greek development.… (more)

Book description
(. . .) Το έργο καλύπτει τα βασικά χαρακτηριστικά κάθε περιόδου του προ-κλασσικού πολιτισμού, από την εποχή που ο πρώτος άνθρωπος πάτησε στην Ελλάδα μέχρι την πτώση της Μυκηναϊκής πόλης-ανακτόρου, τον 13ο αιώνα π.Χ.: την αργή εξέλιξη του Νεολιθικού Πολιτισμού, την πλούσια και πρωτότυπη Πρώιμη Εποχή του Χαλκού, τον γόνιμο αν και δραματικό ανταγωνισμό μεταξύ Μινωιτών και Μυκηναϊκής Αυτοκρατορίας. Η κληρονομιά της Μυκηναϊκής θρησκείας και της τέχνης επανεξετάζεται, καθώς περιλαμβάνει τώρα υλικό που βρέθηκε σε ανασκαφές ανακτόρων: πλούσιες τοιχογραφίες, αντικείμενα από ελεφαντόδοντο, χρυσά και αργυρά κοσμήματα, αγγεία και χάλκινο οπλισμό. Η συγγραφέας εξετάζει τις επιδρομές των Ελλήνων, την ανάπτυξη μιας ελληνικής γλώσσας και μερικά προβλήματα της Γραμμικής Β’, και την επίδραση της Κρήτης και της Ανατολής στην πορεία που ακολούθησε η ελληνική εξέλιξη. (. . .) (ΑΠΟ ΤΗΝ ΠΑΡΟΥΣΙΑΣΗ ΣΤΟ ΟΠΙΣΘΟΦΥΛΛΟ ΤΟΥ ΒΙΒΛΙΟΥ)
