Jack L. Davis, codirector of ongoing excavations at the Palace of Nestor at Pylos, takes readers on a tour of the beginnings of Mycenaean civilisation through a case study of this important site.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIn 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 civilisation, centred 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 recognisable to readers of Homer and students of Greek history.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eA Greek State in Formation\u003c\/i\u003e makes the powerful case that a knowledge of the Greek Bronze Age is indispensable to the classics curriculum.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Unknown","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47000520753388,"sku":"9780520387249","price":66.99,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/7092823482373.jpg?v=1763280648"}],"url":"https:\/\/bookhero.live\/collections\/jack-l-davis.oembed","provider":"Book Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
