Description

Citadel to City-State serves as an excellent summarization of our present knowledge of the not-so-dark Dark Age in addition to an admirable prologue to the understanding of the subsequent Archaeic and Classical periods.” ―David Rupp, Phoenix

The Dark Age of Greece is likely one of the least understood periods of Greek history. A terra incognita between the Mycenaean civilization of Late Bronze Age Greece and the flowering of Classical Greece, the Dark Age was once, until the previous few decades, in large part neglected. Now new archaeological methods and the discovery of new evidence have made it imaginable to develop a more comprehensive view of all the period. Citadel to City-State explores every century from 1200 to 700 B.C.E. through an individual site―Mycenae, Nichoria, Athens, Lefkandi, Corinth, and Ascra―that illustrates the major features of every period. It is a remarkable account of the historical detective work that may be beginning to shed light on Dark Age Greece.
