Davis, codirector of ongoing excavations at the Palace of Nestor at Pylos takes readers on a tour of the beginnings of Mycenaean civilization through a case study of this important site. In collaboration with Sharon R. Stocker, Davis demonstrates that this ancient place was a major node for the exchange of ideas between the already established Minoan civilization, centered on the island of Crete, and the Greek mainland. Davis and Stocker show how this adoption of Minoan culture created an ideology of power focused on a single individual, one that celebrated his military prowess and invested him with divine authority--a figure instantly recognizable to readers of Homer and students of Greek history. A Greek State in Formation makes the powerful case that a knowledge of the Greek Bronze Age is indispensable to the Classics curriculum"--Provided by publisher. 610 20 $a Palace of Nestor (Pylos, Greece) $x History. 650 0 $a Excavations (Archaeology) $z Greece. 650 0 $a Civilization, Mycenaean. 610 27 $a Palace of Nestor (Pylos, Greece) $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00740684 650 7 $a Civilization, Mycenaean. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00863111 650 7 $a Excavations (Archaeology) $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00917564 651 7 $a Greece. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01208380 655 7 $a History. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01411628 700 1 $a Stocker, Sharon R., $e contributor. 773 18 $w 990008502680202771 $g no:31858073069001 776 08 $i Online version: $a Davis, Jack L. $t Greek state in formation $d Oakland, California : University of California Press, [2021] $z 9780520387256 $w (DLC) 2021040661 830 0 $a Sather classical lectures ; $v v. 75. 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20231117020656.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=40B826CC072811ED93C2E7E557ECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
