Download or read book The Oldest Civilization of Greece Studies of the Mycenaean Age written by H. R. Hall and published by . This book was released on 2015-11-26 with total page 162 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: H.R. Hall was an early 20th century historian who wrote at length about ancient Greece in a number of highly regarded histories, including this one. From the preface: "The series of "Studies of the Mycen�an Age" which are comprised in this volume contain the notes made during the course of some years' study of the "Mycen�an Question," expanded and thrown into a connected form. The chief problems of "Mycen�an" arch�ology are dealt with separately, but at the same time are also, as far as possible, connected in order to form a homogeneous study of the Mycen�an Question as it stands to-day. Here and there it has been found impossible, when discussing some one problem, to steer clear of trenching upon the domain of another; repetition of argument has, however, been as far as possible avoided, and it is hoped that these chapters will be of use both to the scientific arch�ological student and to the layman who interests himself in the most fascinating search which ever yet allured the seeker after forgotten history-the search for the origins of Greek civilization.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Contrary to a prevalent belief of the Western world, that democracy, agriculture, theater and the arts were the attainments of Classical Greek civilization, these were actually a Bronze Age fusion of earlier European concepts and Hellenic ingenuity. This work considers both the multicultural wellspring from which these ideas flowed and their ready assimilation by the Greeks, who embraced these hallmarks of civilization, and refined them to the level of sophistication that defines classical antiquity.

This book was released on 2014-06-16 with total page 336 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Wonderful…a thoughtful discussion of what made [the Greeks] so important, in their own time and in ours." —Natalie Haynes, Independent The ancient Greeks invented democracy, theater, rational science, and philosophy. They built the Parthenon and the Library of Alexandria. Yet this accomplished people never formed a single unified social or political identity. In Introducing the Ancient Greeks, acclaimed classics scholar Edith Hall offers a bold synthesis of the full 2,000 years of Hellenic history to show how the ancient Greeks were the right people, at the right time, to take up the baton of human progress. Hall portrays a uniquely rebellious, inquisitive, individualistic people whose ideas and creations continue to enthrall thinkers centuries after the Greek world was conquered by Rome. These are the Greeks as you’ve never seen them before.
