Interdisciplinary account of Ancient Greek History,
By A Customer
This review is from: Ecology of the Ancient Greek World (Hardcover)
The author has written an exhaustively detailed account of the colonization of the Greek peninsula and Ancient Greek Civilisation. He is combining historical and biological evidence and theory into a fascinating story starting with the unique environmental conditions at the end of the ice age. His arguments are quite convincing. His way of telling the story, however would have benefitted from less outrage against the usual Classicist ways of using historical evidence. He is far less critical against biological theory and this might be the only flaw in this otherwise truly excellent book. The reader should be aware of the scholarly character, however: This is not easy reading. it is worthwhile, however, and works like this will change our view of the past.
