Following the collapse of the brilliant Mycenaean civilisation of Late Bronze Age Greece and preceding the equally brilliant and better documented Classical period, the Dark Age was, until the last few decades, largely neglected. The neglect can be explained partly by the fact that the disruptions that brought down the Mycenaean civilisation left a depopulated landscape seemingly devoid not only of large population centres but in many places of any population at all. And the Dark Age is dark, in large part, because it has left no written records. Development of new techniques in archaeological method and a new focus on the study of the way life was lived outside of the great cities has renewed interest in the Dark Age.This new focus has led to the discovery of new evidence and to the reevaluation of old evidence as well, and it is now possible to develop a larger and longer view of the entire period. This book traces the process of change that transformed the Bronze Age civilisation into the city-state culture of the Classical Age. Each century from 1200-700 BCE is explored through an individual site - Mycenae, Nichoria, Athens, Lefkandi, Cornith, and Ascra - that illustrates the major features of each period. Intended to complement recent, more exhaustive and technical works, \"From Citadel to City-State\" is a remarkable account of historical detective work that is beginning to shed light on Dark Age Greece.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"US \/ GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":50346352509201,"sku":"CIN0253334969G","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ VERY_GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":50347349704977,"sku":"CIN0253334969VG","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":53615997223185,"sku":"GOR007685012","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/0253334969.jpg?v=1751290575"},{"product_id":"alexander-the-great-in-his-world-book-carol-g-thomas-9780631232469","title":"Alexander the Great in His World","description":"Alexander the Great is one of the most celebrated figures of antiquity. In this book, Carol G. Thomas places this powerful figure within the context of his time, place, culture, and ancestry in order to discover what influences shaped his life and career.  The book begins with an exploration of the Macedonia that conditioned the lives of its inhabitants. It also traces such influences on Alexander’s life as his royal Argead ancestry, his father, Philip II, and his mother, Olympias. The author examines Alexander’s engagement with Greek culture, especially his relationship with Aristotle, and contemplates how other societal factors – especially the highly militarized Macedonian kingdom and the nature of Macedonia’s relationship with neighboring states – contributed to his achievement.     What was the significance of these influences on the man who succeeded in conquering most of the known world from the Adriatic Sea to the Indus River? The author focuses on this question in exploring ancient landscapes and resurrecting key figures from antiquity in order to penetrate the motivation, goals, and inner being of Alexander the Great.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"US \/ GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":50358747267345,"sku":"CIN063123246XG","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":51520366674193,"sku":"GOR008962387","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"US \/ VERY_GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":52152405885201,"sku":"CIN063123246XVG","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":52448096485649,"sku":"NLS9780631232469","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"US \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":53132153454865,"sku":"NIN9780631232469","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/063123246X.jpg?v=1777542735"},{"product_id":"greece-book-carol-g-thomas-9781118631751","title":"Greece","description":"Greece: A Short History of a Long Story presents a comprehensive overview of the history of Greece by exploring the continuity of Greek culture from its Neolithic origins to the modern era.

Carol G. Thomas and Craig Conant's broad and varied account of the Trojan War allows readers to investigate the archaeological and historical foundations that underlie the epic poems featuring Achilles and Aeneas, and to examine how the poems altered understanding of the war for the many cultures and civilizations touched by their narrative power.Conceived as an introduction to this critical event in the Western tradition, The Trojan War offers readers and researchers an engaging mixture of descriptive chapters, biographical sketches, and annotated primary documents. Also provided are an annotated bibliography and index.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"- \/ - \/ -","offer_id":50480025534737,"sku":"","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"US \/ GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":50480025829649,"sku":"CIN0806138742G","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":52678194430225,"sku":"NLS9780806138749","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/0806138742.jpg?v=1767347978"},{"product_id":"ancient-history-book-carol-g-thomas-9780941690799","title":"Ancient History","description":null,"brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"- \/ - \/ -","offer_id":50627551166737,"sku":"","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"US \/ GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":50627552477457,"sku":"CIN0941690792G","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/0941690792.jpg?v=1750850923"},{"product_id":"alexander-the-great-in-his-world-book-carol-g-thomas-9780631232452","title":"Alexander the Great in His World","description":"In Alexander the Great in his World, Carol G.
