Watrous (° 1943, emeritus University of Buffalo) is a veteran when it comes to earliest Greek history. In this recent book he summarizes his knowledge of ancient Crete, and especially the Minoan culture, roughly between 2,000 and 1400 BCE. As might be expected, he sometimes goes into great depth about the archaeological finds, with a detailed overview per site. Occasionally Watrous clings to outdated views, such as when he dates the famous eruption of the Santorini volcano at 1500 BCE, while there is now consensus that it occurred at least a century earlier. In short, a reasonably good state of affairs, but still quite specialized. ( ) nessuna recensione | aggiungi una recensione
Along with Mesopotamia, Egypt, and the Levant, Minoan Crete was one of the primary cultures of the prehistoric Mediterranean world. In this book, L. Vance Watrous offers an up-to-date overview of this important ancient society. Using archaeological evidence from palaces, houses, surveys, caves, and mountain shrines, he describes and traces the development of Minoan Crete from the Neolithic era through the Late Bronze Age. Watrous also presents and interprets Minoan art works in a range of media, including fresco paintings, pottery, and seals, and explains how Minoan Crete affected the culture of classical Greece. Aimed at undergraduate and graduate students, this book can be used in courses on the ancient Mediterranean world and classical archaeology. Non sono state trovate descrizioni di biblioteche |
