Davis, codirector of excavations at the Palace of Nestor at Pylos, takes readers on a tour of the beginnings of Mycenaean civilization through a case study of this important site. In collaboration with codirector Sharon R. Stocker, Davis demonstrates that this ancient place was a major node for the exchange of ideas between the already established Minoan civilization, centered on the island of Crete, and the residents of the Greek mainland. Davis and Stocker show how adoption of Minoan culture created an ideology of power focused on a single individual, celebrating his military prowess, investing him with divine authority, and creating a figure instantly recognizable to readers of Homer and students of Greek history. A Greek State in Formation makes the powerful case that a knowledge of the Greek Bronze Age is indispensable to the classics curriculum. 606 $aCivilization, Mycenaean 606 $aExcavations (Archaeology)$zGreece$zPylos 606 $aExcavations (Archaeology)$zGreece 606 $aHISTORY / Ancient / Greece$2bisacsh 615 0$aCivilization, Mycenaean. 615 0$aExcavations (Archaeology) 615 0$aExcavations (Archaeology) 615 7$aHISTORY / Ancient / Greece. 676 $a938.9 700 $aDavis$b Jack L.$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$0545971 801 0$bDE-B1597 801 1$bDE-B1597 906 $aBOOK 912 $a996475754903316 996 $aA Greek State in Formation$92902324 997 $aUNISA
