Παρουσίαση
The "Dark Age" of Greece is one of the least understood periods of Greek history. A terra incognita between the Mycenaean civilization of Late Bronze Age Greece and the flowering of Classical Greece, 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 civilization left a landscape seemingly devoid not only of large population centers 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 how life was lived outside the great cities have renewed interest in the Dark Age. This attention has led to the discovery of new evidence and to the reevaluation of the old, and it is now possible to develop a more comprehensive view of the entire period. This book traces the process of change that transformed the Bronze Age civilization into the city-state culture of the Classical Age. Each century from 1200 to 700 B.C.E. is explored through an individual site - Mycenae, Nichoria, Athens, Lefkandi, Corinth, and Ascra - that illustrates the major features of each period. Intended to complement recent, more exhaustive and technical works, Citadel to City-State is a remarkable account of historical detective work that is beginning to shed light on Dark Age Greece.
