Summary:

The magnificent world of art of ancient Crete, Mycenae and the Cycladic Islands are awe-inspiring in their richness and variety. Frescos, jewellery, sculpture, gold funeral masks, ivories and countless other beautiful artefacts - all the significant works of art and architecture which are our legacy from those great civilizations in the third and second millennia BC are described and illustrated in this distinguished survey. As History Today said of the first edition, 'Dr Higgins's work now proves that Greek Bronze Age culture deserves to be considered not as a "poor relation" of classical art, but as an achievement in itself'. 'Compact, informative, reliable' (The Classical Review). (Back cover).
