Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad quality books with introduced typos.

The Discoveries in Crete
Author: Ronald M. Burrows
Publisher: Gorgias PressLlc
ISBN: 9781593339555
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 268
Book Description
Indeed a classic of accessible archaeological writing, Burrows' study of ancient Crete was one of the main contributors to the commencement of modern understanding of the Minoans. The earliest traces of the Minoan civilization are sketched out before he turns to the historical periods when Minos flourished. The sack of Knossos and the end of the Bronze Age are narrated against the archaeological background. Aware of the cultural continuity of classical stories from the island, he introduces the topic of the minotaur and the famed labyrinth of Knossos. For anyone interested in the roots of western civilization, or of the founding of classical civilizations, this book remains an essential reading.

The Tourists Gaze, The Cretans Glance
Author: P. G. Duke
Publisher: Left Coast Press
ISBN: 1598741438
Category : Business & Economics
Languages : en
Pages : 158
Book Description
Using the sites on the island of Crete as an example, Duke first gives a brief overview of what is known of Cretan pre-history. He then explores how the sites have been observed by mostly European and American tourists from the early nineteenth century to the present. Duke is concerned with how guides and brochures filter the archeological information to the tourists and how a specific view of the past is being presented. He concludes by encouraging academics to engage the interest of the casual spectator by making information about the sites more accessible to non-specialists. A useful appendix has a list describing each site along with comments on its current condition.
