Ancient Greece: From the Mycenaean Palaces to the Age of Homer

by Sigrid Deger-Jalkotzy (Editor), Irene S. Lemos (Editor)

This book is the most fundamental reinterpretation of Ancient Greek history, culture, and society in thirty years. The authors refute the traditional view of the Greek Dark Age with evidence of a steady progression from Mycenaean kingship to the conception of aristocratic nobility in the Archaic period.
