The spread of Greek civilization through Europe, into Africa and
the Near East, began long before the classical period, long after
Troy, Mycenae and Knossos had fallen. This study provides the
archaeologist's point of view of this important period of European
history, describing how, out of the Dark Ages of reduced population
and comparative penury, the Greeks set their sails north, south,
east and west to plant trading posts and colonies, to reap whatever
harvest of materials and expertise the barbarian could offer, and
to disseminate the benefits of their own rapidly developing and
brilliant civilization. The canvas is broad: Greek mercenaries
leaving graffiti on the statues of Abel Simbel in southern Egypt;
Greek traders braving the Atlantic breakers or introducing wine to
Burgundy. This work seeks to demonstrate the value of archaeology
to the historical record, and to indicate how much the arts and
culture of Classical Greece already owed to foreign influences.
