An exciting book to read, eloquently written and beautifully illustrated. -The New Yorker 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.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mia Karts","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51856199385376,"sku":"NEW0393307794","price":34.5,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0980\/7426\/3840\/files\/61AVLqzdvWL.jpg?v=1781548133","url":"https:\/\/miakarts.com\/products\/the-origins-of-greek-civilization-1100-650-bc-0393307794","provider":"Miakarts Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
