The Orientalizing Revolution: Near Eastern Influence on Greek Culture in the Early Archaic Age (Revealing Antiquity) by Walter Burkert ,Margaret Pinder
Requirements: .PDF reader, 9,4 MB
Overview: The culture of the ancient Greeks has often been described as emerging like a miracle from a genius of its own, owing practically nothing to its neighbours. Walter Burkert offers a decisive argument against that view, pointing toward a more balanced picture of the archaic period "in which, under the influence of the Semitic East – from writers, craftsmen, merchants, healers – Greek culture began its unique flowering, soon to assume cultural hegemony in the Mediterranean".
