This book examines the development of ancient Greek civilization
through a path-breaking application of social scientific theories.
David B. Small charts the rise of the Minoan and Mycenaean
civilizations and the unique characteristics of the later classical
Greeks through the lens of ancient social structure and complexity
theory, opening up new ideas and perspectives on these societies.
He argues that Minoan and Mycenaean institutions evolved from
elaborate feasting, and that the genesis of Greek colonization was
born from structural chaos in the eighth century. Small isolates
distinctions between Iron Age Crete and the rest of the Greek
world, focusing on important differences in social structure. His
book differs from others on Ancient Greece, highlighting the
perpetuation of classical Greek social structure into the middle
years of the Roman Empire, and concluding with a comparison of the
social structure of classical Greece to that of the classical Maya
civilization.
