Aristocratic Society in Ancient Crete, first published in 1955,
investigates the emergence and progress of Dorian society on Crete
from the 8th century BC onwards. The major contribution of Cretan
culture in this period was in the field of law - law and order are
traditionally linked, and Dorian Crete remained steadfast in its
pursuit of order. The author offers an explanation for the
protracted aristocratic character of Cretan society, basing his
study on the crucial Code of Gortyna. The primitive foundations of
the social system are examined, illuminating the tribal
institutions which formed the basis of the aristocratic states
which developed. The four classes of the Cretan states, and the
mutual relations of these classes, are defined, and the stages
whereby family institutions developed are analysed. Finally,
political and judicial organisation is scrutinised, and the Cretan
culture is situated in the wider horizon of Mediterranean
civilisation.
