Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Cretan Sketches This little book makes no claim to be a history of the recent Cretan revolution, still less to be a history of Crete. Its aim is merely to enable the newspaper-reader to fill in the gaps in his mental panorama of Cretan struggles by a few rough etchings mostly taken from life. The writer takes this opportunity of expressing his sincere thanks to Mr. Melton Prior for his kindly and valuable assistance, to the proprietors of the Illustrated London News for permission to reproduce the illustrations, of which they own the copyright, and also to the editor of the Daily Chronicle and the manager of the Times for permitting him to make use of letters and telegrams contributed by him to the former journal in 1896, and to the latter this year.

Download or read book Crete the Forerunner of Greece Classic Reprint written by Charles Henry Hawes and published by . This book was released on 2015-07-02 with total page 184 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Crete the Forerunner of Greece The recent discoveries in Crete have added a new horizon to European civilization. A new standpoint has been at the same time obtained for surveying not only the Ancient Classical World of Greece and Rome, but the modern world in which we live. This revelation of the past has thus more than an archaeological interest. It concerns all history and must affect the mental attitude of our own and future generations in many departments of knowledge. At the same time, the complexity of the details and the multiplicity of the recent explorations, and the fact that many of the results are as yet imperfectly published, must make it extremely difficult for the ordinary intelligent reader to gain a comprehensive idea of this "Greece beyond Greece," brought to light on Cretan soil. For more advanced archaeological students, indeed, Mr. Ronald Burrows' work on The Recent Discoveries in Crete has supplied a useful summary. But for the general reading public a simpler statement was required, and it seems to me that this service has been successfully rendered by Mr. and Mrs. Hawes in the present book.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Greek Art and National Life My best thanks are due to Sir Arthur Evans and to the Delegates of the Oxford University Press for their kind permission to use the illustrations of Cretan scripts and seals from Scm'pta Mined. My debt to Professor R. M. Burrows' Discoveries in Crete will be apparent to those who have read that admirable summary of the great work of Sir Arthur Evans, whose Scripta Minoa has of course been indispensable: and I acknowledge with grati tude the influence of the late Andrew Lang in Homeric criticism. In my inquiry into the mean ing of Hellenic sculpture, I have followed a line of thought evolved during the years that I have devoted to lecturing upon the subject; and while I may be permitted to claim for it some originality, and to h0pe that it has some value, I willingly admit its faults to be my own. I date this preface from the same deep woodland upon whose ever-changing beauty I have drawn, in the pages that follow, in my endeavour to uphold the claim of England to her own peculiar realm in art; and to the friends who have given me the free dom of their goodly heritage I owe my thanks.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Cretan Insurrection of 1866-7-8 The Hellenes must learn that they have no friends. Save in the unprejudiced and charitable individuals who know them well enough to be able to overlook their foibles and petty vices, in view of the solid and genuine claims which they have to our liking and the support of Christendom. As one -of those, I await the day when Greece shall have been mistress of herself long enough to prove whether or not she can govern herself wisely, before I lend my voice to her blame for her failures or her offences.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Venizelos and the War: A Sketch of Personalities and Politics I have compiled this sketch of personalities and politics in order to meet the very wide spread desire to know more of the develop ments which have led up to the present extraordinary situation in Greece, and I am hopeful that it will assist the public to a better understanding of the political evolution which culminated in the departure of M. Venizelos for Crete and Salonika. In principle, I have limited my digressions to those cases where I have considered it desirable to guide the reader to a correct appreciation of cause and effect, and the several references to Entente diplomacy have been included - and necessarily included rather because its action was an important factor in the problem under consideration, than from any desire to add to the chorus of criticism evoked by its failure.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Crete in the Greek Tradition N ow that the excavations at Cnossus, Phaestus, Hagia Triada, and other places in Crete have given us certain definite facts about the earliest Cretan civilization, it is perhaps worth While to examine again the mass of traditions and myths clustering about the island. What information concerning the early state of Crete did the later Greeks possess, how does this square with the archaeological evidence, does it help us to explain any of the results of the excavations?

Download or read book The Material Background of the Earliest Civilization in Crete Classic Reprint written by Miriam Cynthia Akers and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-10-02 with total page 92 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Material Background of the Earliest Civilization in Crete The object of this study was to determine, from the evidence of archaeological excavations, some aspects of the material background of the Minoan civilization in Crete, as a basis for constructing a sound idea of the social and economic institutions of that civilization. Since our whole knowledge of these great and long - vanished people, the Minoans, is so new, being secured almost entirely from excavations of the past twenty years, and so fraught with romantic possibilities sug gested by the ancient Greek legends of Crete, it has been necessary to treat the subject from a very critical standpoint. Attempts by popular writers to present an idea of the social life and institutions of that age upon inadequate evidence and hasty deductions are apt to be very misleading. Hence, I have attempted to weigh carefully the evidence from various sites and compare it, drawing conclusions based upon scientific knowledge of subsequent civilizations.
