A survey of how the Aegean peoples expressed themselves during a
period of some 5000 years after the end of the Bronze Age (circa
1100 BC), and before the rise of Greek art. Work produced in the
ambience of the palaces of Crete (including the palace of Minos at
Knossos) and of Mycenae on the mainland is fully described and
illustrated. For purposes of clarity the arts are considered by
function and material rather than by geographical region or
chronological period; but the main political upheavals affecting
them are kept in mind. Little wall-painting has survived, and the
so-called minor arts are examined for the light they thow on it, as
well as to assess artistic development in the Aegean as a whole.
