Book Synopsis Echoes from the Greek Bronze Age by : Robert D. Morritt
Download or read book Echoes from the Greek Bronze Age written by Robert D. Morritt and published by Cambridge Scholars Publishing. This book was released on 2010-09-13 with total page 215 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Echoes from the Greek Bronze Age is the result of much that the author has read over several years. It is a study of the thoughts and works of early thinkers, from Hecataeus the early cartographer, to Herodotus’ survey of the then “known world,” the thoughts of Anaxagoras, Xenophon’s descriptions, and the sayings of Xenophanes. Simones work on the art of memory, “The Loci” and its influence so many years later on Giordano Bruno declared as a heretic are also explored. This book will interest readers who enjoy history, archaic scientific observations and those who desire a good read, rather than that found within a turgid Classical monograph. The author hopes that the reader will enjoy this book as much as he enjoyed writing it.

Book Synopsis The Discovery of the Greek Bronze Age by : J. Lesley Fitton
Download or read book The Discovery of the Greek Bronze Age written by J. Lesley Fitton and published by . This book was released on 1996 with total page 220 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Classical Greeks sought their own origins in legends of gods and heroes. It was not until the discipline of archaeology emerged, in the nineteenth century, that the evidence of material culture could be used to form an image of the earliest societies in Greek lands. Only in the last 125 years have the Cycladic, Minoan and Mycenaean peoples been brought to light and an elaborate framework of dates, styles, periods and events constructed to enable us to understand the Aegean Bronze Age. Where have these 'facts' come from, and how accurately do they actually describe a remote period from which there is no written history? To trace the progression from a blank to a complex picture this book begins with the towering achievements of individuals such as Heinrich Schliemann and Arthur Evans, whose dramatic discoveries made them household names. The author then charts the consolidation and often controversial reinterpretation of their finds by succeeding generations, thereby raising fascinating questions about how archaeological knowledge is acquired and how our changing assumptions and attitudes shape our view of the ancient past.

Book Synopsis Greece in the Bronze Age by : Emily Townsend
Download or read book Greece in the Bronze Age written by Emily Townsend and published by University of Chicago Press. This book was released on 2010-06-01 with total page 478 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 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.
Book Synopsis The Civilization of Greece in the Bronze Age (1928) by : H.R. Hall

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: First published in 1928, this volume contains six sequential lectures delivered by H.R. Hall in 1923 detailing the archaeological remains of Bronze Age Greece. Hall was keeper of Egyptian and Assyrian antiquities in the British Museum and author of ‘The Ancient History of the Near East’. Each of the author’s lectures was strictly chronological, with the main feature of each period being described in order. The profuse illustrations recreated here were fundamental to his view, with each Age defined through its art, pottery and stone carvings. These printed lectures follow their spoken counterparts closely and are brought to life with 320 illustrations inserted in places which reflect the original performances.

Book Synopsis Mycenaean Greece (Routledge Revivals) by : John T Hooker
Download or read book Mycenaean Greece (Routledge Revivals) written by John T Hooker and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2014-03-18 with total page 329 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Mycenaean Greece, first published in 1976, investigates from an historical point of view some of the crucial periods in the Greek Bronze Age. The principal subject is the so-called ‘Mycenaean’ culture which arose during the sixteenth century BC, as assimilation of the previous ‘Helladic’ culture of mainland Greece with some of the developments of Minoan Crete. Many of the material aspects of the Mycenaean civilisation are examined, as are the extent of Mycenaean expansion overseas and the eventual destruction of Mycenaean sites which marked the end of their civilisation. The author also considers the evidence relating to the religious beliefs of the Mycenaeans and their social, political and economic organisations, and he relates the Mycenaean culture to the later civilisation of Archaic and Classical Greece. There is an Appendix containing a list of Mycenaean sites, with reference to excavation reports, and a full bibliography.

Download or read book So Much Stuff written by Chip Colwell and published by University of Chicago Press. This book was released on 2023 with total page 332 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "To be human means to need things. Even more human is to need more and more of them. In this engaging, charming book, archaeologist, curator, and writer Chip Colwell takes us around the world, covering topics as wide-ranging as the dawn of tool making, the earliest cave paintings, the complexities of clothing, the Industrial Revolution, the torrent of gizmos invented to bring us closer and supposedly make our lives easier, and, finally, the mountains of unwanted stuff in dumps. Along the way, he raises questions such as: Why is a treasured keepsake sacred to one person but meaningless to another? What do we go through when we clean out the belongings of the dearly departed? And what is the point of storing things in museums? The book is organized around three historical phases: (1) the invention of tools; (2) the dawn of the belief that things mean something beyond their immediate use (around 50,000 years ago); and (3) the Industrial Revolution and the age of mass consumption. Colwell takes us on a tour across millions of years to explain how humans have arrived at this moment-a world that both requires things and is suffering because of them"--
Book Synopsis Mycenaean Origin of Greek Mythology by : Martin Nilsson
Download or read book Mycenaean Origin of Greek Mythology written by Martin Nilsson and published by Univ of California Press. This book was released on 1983-09-16 with total page 275 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Nilsson studied the geographical aspects of the Greek myths. He proved that almost without exception, the places in the myths, especially those in the great cycle of stories, are the very same places as those now known from archaeology to have been important Bronze-Age sites ... Nilsson made it amply clear, in a host of interesting details which he worked out with ingenuity and almost always good sense, that the memory of the great Bronze-Age centres survived, and that the stories told of them ... truly reflected, in Classical times, the Mykenaian Age. To have discovered this great bridge was the triumphant achievement of Nilsson." [Back cover].
