The Origins of Greek Civilization by Chester G Starr

The Origins of Greek Civilization by Chester G Starr

When the great citadel of Mycenae, then the center of the Aegean world, went up in flames about 1100 B.C., what followed was a dark age that left no written records. But rich archaeological records show conclusively that there was a radical discontinuity between Mycenaean-Minoan culture and Greek civilization. Chester G. Starr argues that true Greek civilization was swiftly and spontaneously generated in a remarkably autonomous renaissance during the two centuries from 850 to 650 B.C. Supporting his thesis with archaeological evidence previously unavailable to historians, he offers a masterly reconstruction of an obscure and important period of Greek history.
