Geometric Greece

Author:J. N. Coldstream

Summary:The text is presented in three main sections: The passing of the dark ages, c.900–770 BC; the Greek renaissance, c.770–700 BC, covered region by region, and the final part on life in eighth century Greece. Its geographical coverage of the Mediterranean ranges from Syria to Sicily, and the detailed archaeological evidence is amplified by reference to literary sources. Highly illustrated, including images of several finds never previously published, this is the first successful edition as the essential handbook for anyone studying early Greek antiquity
