Description

Explore the evolution of Greek art and poetry during the transitional period known as the Greek Dark Ages. Originally published in 1958, this Routledge Library Edition offers a deep look into Mycenaean civilization by analyzing its own documents rather than relying solely on archaeology. Author Webster uses the 1952 decipherment of Linear B by Michael Ventris to establish how Greek was spoken in the Mycenaean world. This foundation allows for a detailed study of aesthetic development, tracing the path from the Mycenaean era to the written composition of the Homeric epics. This book is an essential resource for those studying the connection between ancient written records and the cultural shifts that shaped early Greek history.
