The author traces a tale of archaeological discovery of the Greek Bronze Age civilizations, from their dawning on the Cycladic Isles in the third millenium B.C. to their flowering in Minoan Crete and in the Mycenean centres and their mysterious disappearance in the 12th century B.C. The result is an assimilation of historical detail and an illustrated tour of the art and artefacts, the grand palaces and tombs, the mythical heroes, and the Trojan treasures that form at least one cradle of our own civilization.
