Book excerpt: Excerpt from Aegean Days But, if many of these pages seem steeped in literary or historic lore, it may be pleaded that the Aegean atmosphere IS so saturated with the memories of a great Past that one cannot escape them if he would. More than that, the solid monuments of every age challenge you at every turn and the stately figures of legend and history enter into your life for the time being well - nigh as really as do the men and women with whom you talk and traffic. To under stand the living Greek one must know old Greek life' and know it well - well enough, at least, not to insist on too much of survival.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Tales of Aegean Intrique If these stories should serve as an incitement to every pater-familias actual or potential to address to his children an Apologia pro Vita Sud 1914-1918, otherwise called An Account of what Daddy did in the Great War they would set, I confess, a pernicious example: the world itself could not contain the books that should be written, or, what is worse, the public would not stomach them. And so, if I venture upon a narrative of some of my doings, my justification is that my experiences have been largely peculiar to myself and not a replica of those which tens of thousands of others can recount, and my work that of a comparatively free agent rather than of one unit in a controlled and disciplined mass. For, let me avow it at once, my part in the war cannot be deemed, in the common acceptance, warlike: I have not been under fire; I have not encountered submarine or mine; I have not so much as seen an enemy in uniform and at large.

Pale mountain'd, o'er the ocean like a star, Each from its purple mantle dimly smiles; And for a time my wearied glance beguiles; Now on the cliff the gleaming tomb behold, Far on the tide its nameless shadow piles, Its mingling tints, its long descending fold, Till shivered into foam when the blue wave hath rolled. And such thou art, a shadow of thyself, A shiver'd mem'ry of thy former days: Lo! crowns yon hill, and many a mountain shelf, The ruined temple's desolated maze - Alas, have creeds a temporary blaze? Like those who made them, eddying to their doom Beyond the eloquence of pride or praise, Or scorn? - behold, within the dusty gloom Remains but scatter'd dust, the wreckage of the tomb!

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Tales of AEgean Intrigue Yet byways too, no less than highways, may issue anon in some busy centre where the fortune of a nation is made or marred: and thus it fell to my lot too to play a conscious part in the fashioning of Greek history, and to instigate and control in some measure the first march of events which had as their logical sequel the evacuation of a throne, the victory of Doiran, and the deliverance of Asiatic Greece from the dominion of the Turk. And therein lies my second justification for this narrative. The public may remember dimly, as one small item amid the enormous happenings of these past five years, that in the late summer of 1916 the island of Crete emerged for a space into the limelight, that Venizelos was reported to have headed a revolt there against the Kaiser's dear ally, Tino, and that a Provisional Government was declared. But the public knew little more than that even at the time: there were but two accredited correspondents who accompanied Venizelos from Athens, and their accounts of the movement, whether dispatched by wire or by mail, were so mauled and mutilated by the censor, that they furnished little but material for a missing-word competition. I was the censor in question, so I know. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Aegean Days This book owes its being to a single aim. That was to share with kindred spirits - with all true lovers of old Greece - the author's own impressions of the brave blue Aegean. But, in the years that have passed since he first caught its skyey tints and his long intimacy with its changing moods began, those impressions have taken on not a little of complexity. Thus the simple day-book of our Aegean summers has ended in a string of island studies. But, if many of these pages seem steeped in literary or historic lore, it may be pleaded that the Aegean atmosphere is so saturated with the memories of a great Past that one cannot escape them if he would. More than that, the solid monuments of every age challenge you at every turn and the stately figures of legend and history enter into your life for the time being well-nigh as really as do the men and women with whom you talk and traffic. To understand the living Greek one must know old Greek life and know it well - well enough, at least, not to insist on too much of survival. I trust the unities may be saved after a fashion by the two-part division. Part First is the simple record of an Andrian summer with incidental excursions to some of the nearer Cyclades. In these chapters, mainly written on the spot and in many moods, I have sought to sketch a true picture of the island life as it impresses a barbarian smitten with the love of Greece. To that extent the book has a certain unity and completeness. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Greek Bronze Age, roughly 3000 to 1000 BCE, witnessed the flourishing of the Minoan and Mycenean civilizations, the earliest expansion of trade in the Aegean and wider Mediterranean Sea, the development of artistic techniques in a variety of media, and the evolution of early Greek religious practices and mythology. The period also witnessed a violent conflict in Asia Minor between warring peoples in the region, a conflict commonly believed to be the historical basis for Homer's Trojan War. The Oxford Handbook of the Bronze Age Aegean provides a detailed survey of these fascinating aspects of the period, and many others, in sixty-six newly commissioned articles. Divided into four sections, the handbook begins with Background and Definitions, which contains articles establishing the discipline in its historical, geographical, and chronological settings and in its relation to other disciplines. The second section, Chronology and Geography, contains articles examining the Bronze Age Aegean by chronological period (Early Bronze Age, Middle Bronze Age, Late Bronze Age). Each of the periods are further subdivided geographically, so that individual articles are concerned with Mainland Greece during the Early Bronze Age, Crete during the Early Bronze Age, the Cycladic Islands during the Early Bronze Age, and the same for the Middle Bronze Age, followed by the Late Bronze Age. The third section, Thematic and Specific Topics, includes articles examining thematic topics that cannot be done justice in a strictly chronological/geographical treatment, including religion, state and society, trade, warfare, pottery, writing, and burial customs, as well as specific events, such as the eruption of Santorini and the Trojan War. The fourth section, Specific Sites and Areas, contains articles examining the most important regions and sites in the Bronze Age Aegean, including Mycenae, Tiryns, Pylos, Knossos, Kommos, Rhodes, the northern Aegean, and the Uluburun shipwreck, as well as adjacent areas such as the Levant, Egypt, and the western Mediterranean. Containing new work by an international team of experts, The Oxford Handbook of the Bronze Age Aegean represents the most comprehensive, authoritative, and up-to-date single-volume survey of the field. It will be indispensable for scholars and advanced students alike.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Christy Constantakopoulou examines the history of the Aegean islands and changing concepts of insularity, with particular emphasis on the fifth century BC. Islands are a prominent feature of the Aegean landscape, and this inevitably created a variety of different (and sometimes contradictory) perceptions of insularity in classical Greek thought. Geographic analysis of insularity emphasizes the interplay between island isolation and island interaction, but the predominance of islands in the Aegean sea made island isolation almost impossible. Rather, island connectivity was an important feature of the history of the Aegean and was expressed on many levels. Constantakopoulou investigates island interaction in two prominent areas, religion and imperial politics, examining both the religious networks located on islands in the ancient Greek world and the impact of imperial politics on the Aegean islands during the fifth century.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Following Oliver Dickinson’s successful The Aegean Bronze Age, this textbook is a synthesis of the period between the collapse of the Bronze Age civilization in the thirteenth and twelfth centuries BC, and the rise of the Greek civilization in the eighth century BC. With chapter bibliographies, distribution maps and illustrations, Dickinson’s detailed examination of material and archaeological evidence argues that many characteristics of Ancient Greece developed in the Dark Ages. He also includes up-to-date coverage of the 'Homeric question'. This highly informative text focuses on: the reasons for the Bronze Age collapse which brought about the Dark Ages the processes that enabled Greece to emerge from the Dark Ages the degree of continuity from the Dark Ages to later times. Dickinson has provided an invaluable survey of this period that will not only be useful to specialists and undergraduates in the field, but that will also prove highly popular with the interested general reader.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Crossroads in the Black Aegean is a compendious, timely, and fascinating study of African rewritings of Greek tragedy. It consists of detailed readings of six dramas and one epic poem, from different locations across the African diaspora. Barbara Goff and Michael Simpson ask why the plays of Sophocles' Theban Cycle figure so prominently among the tragedies adapted by dramatists of African descent, and how plays that dilate on the power of the past, in the inexorable curse of Oedipus and the regressive obsession of Antigone, can articulate the postcolonial moment. Capitalizing on classical reception studies, postcolonial studies, and comparative literature, Crossroads in the Black Aegean co-ordinates theory and theatre. It crucially investigates how the plays engage with the 'Western canon', and shows how they use their self-consciously literary status to assert, ironize, and challenge their own place, and that of the Greek originals, in relation to that tradition. Beyond these oedipal reflexes, the adaptations offer alternative African models of cultural transmission.
