    Grade 7 Students, Eastchester Middle School
    According to Greek mythology, Hercules was tormented and driven to madness by the goddess Hera. In a state of insanity, Hercules committed horrible crimes for which he later repented. The oracle of Delphi instructed Hercules that if he performed a series of tasks given him by his weak cousin Eurystheus, he would be forgiven fully. As shown in this illustrated narrative, he battled a nine-headed hydra while draped in a magical lionskin, gathered golden apples and journeyed to Haydes while performing the Twelve Labors Of Hercules. Here is a well illustrated and complete account of that story produced a group of middle school students.

And Never Called Her Mother
The nice thing about modern myths (as opposed to the ancient ones) is that most of them have left broad paper trails, and we can track them pretty easily, sometimes even to their lairs, to the books, if not the heads, in which they first appeared. The myth of the Great Goddess is almost ideally suited to scholarly hunting, since it has a very definite point of origin and author: the Swiss-German academic J. J. Bachofen, in his book Das Mutterrecht Prior to the nineteenth century, and even for the most part up to Bachofen's day, the historical world accessible to most educated Europeans went back three thousand years at the outside and barely extended beyond the Mediterranean basin. Peering back through the Middle Ages, they saw Rome, Greece and Israel, and some flickers that vaguely resembled Egypt and Babylon, these last largely derived from the mystical gibberish of late antiquity; China, Persia and India were smears occasionally useful to satirists. Bachofen's mundane job, as a professor of Roman law, was supposed to put him in touch with hoariest antiquity. One of the great achievements of western thought in the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries was to make this ancestral vision quaint

A history of
Ancient Greece
  By the standards of the times Bronze Age (3000-1000B.C.) Ancient Greece was comparatively sophisticated but was also strongly influenced by the yet more accomplished Minoan civilization based on Crete that strongly flourished from 2000 -1450 B.C.
  Minoan Crete maintained an extensive network of trading links that brought influences drawn from Egypt and Mesopotamia to Crete. The Minoans exported pottery, grains, wines, and oils, and tended to import luxury materials such as precious metals, jewels, and ivory. Minoan culture gave rise to several great cities that featured stone buildings and provision for a water supply and drainage. The city adjacent to the great Palace of Knossos was home, at its peak, to almost one hundred thousand people. Knossos was thus one of the first major cities in human history!!!   On the Greek mainland meanwhile Mycenaen authority was exercised through a number of localised kingdoms. These kingdoms may have adopted written record keeping based on Minoan examples.

Introduction to the course:
The Ancient Greeks hold an important place in history of the formation of western culture. This class will attempt to provide a historical and cultural introduction to their world. We will begin with the environment and culture of the Greek peninsula b efore the arrival of the Greeks, and end with the conquest of the Greek city states by the Macedonians in 338 B.C. We will pay particular attention to the two centuries from 600-400 B.C. The lectures will proceed in chronological order, and will be suppl emented by readings both in the textbook and in primary source material. Classes will take the form of a lecture/discussion, often accompanied by other activities, such as debates or the viewing of slides videos. The purpose of this format is to allow the student to explore more deeply the concepts from the assigned readi ngs; for this reason, students are strongly encouraged to keep up with the reading assignments.

W ELCOME to F ORVM A NTIQVVM, a 'gateway' site providing easy access to hundreds of internet resources related to the study of the ancient Mediterranean world (between ca. 5,000 B.C.E. to ca. 1500 C.E.). The pages within this site are divided into two groups. Group 1 collates links to websites dedicated to an historical epoch and/or geographical region (e.g. Ancient Egypt ); each is internally organized by category (e.g., Archaeological Field Projects, Related Organizations, etc.). Group 2 collates links to sites devoted to disciplines or topics not necessarily anchored in a specific region or historical era (e.g., Numismatics ). Interspersed among both groups are web pages I have created to cover a specific archaeological site (e.g., Tel Dor ), historical topic (e.g., Augustus ) or literary concern (e.g., Herakles ). If you know of a useful link that is missing from these pages, feel free to email me. If you find a dead link, or one that redirects to an obviously unrelated site, please let me know (include the page on which you found it). Thanks! Please note: Due to their ephemeral nature, many sites (e.g., projects by grad students, temporary faculty, conferences, etc.) are no longer included on these pages, as I unfortunately do not have the time to constantly update the site. Even more reason to use the search engine included on each page, if that page does not have what you are looking for.

Description
About the Editors "This marvelous and uniquely comprehensive book sets a new, high standard of excellence in the study of Greek archaeology."Ronald S. Stroud, University of California, Berkeley DESCRIPTION (back to top) This book marks an astonishing achievement in ancient Greek archaeology. Using twin cameras suspended from a 33-foot, four-finned balloon, Wilson and Ellie Myers have been able to photograph 44 archaeological sites on Crete from a much lower altitude than is possible from helicopters or airplanes. The result is stunning. The breathtaking high-resolution photographs reveal new information and correct mistaken assumptions about these ancient sites. The Atlas will cause scholars to rethink their notions about the Minoan culture of Crete, which with its linear A writing, widespread sea trade, elaborate palaces, and unique art was crucial to the development of western civilization. For archaeologists of the future, the

It is named for the legendary King Minos of Crete. The culture was divided by Sir Arthur Evans into three periods that include the whole of the Bronze Age: Early Minoan (c.3000 B.C. B.C. ), Middle Minoan (c.2200 B.C. B.C. ), and Late Minoan (c.1500 B.C. B.C. ). Early Minoan saw the slow rise of the culture from a neolithic state with the importation of metals, the tentative use of bronze, and the appearance of a hieroglyphic writing. In the Middle Minoan period the great palaces appeared at Knossos and Phaestus; a pictographic script (known as Linear A) was used; ceramics, ivory carving, and metalworking reached their peak; and Minoan maritime power extended across the Mediterranean. Toward the end of the period an earthquake, and possibly an invasion, destroyed Knossos, but the palace was rebuilt. During this period there is evidence of a new script (Linear B) at Knossos, which argues the presence of Mycenaean Greeks. Other luxurious palaces existed at this time at Gournia, Cydonia (now Kh¡nia), and elsewhere. Knossos was again destroyed c.1500 B.C.

http://www.ancientgreece.com/history/history.htm
One of the great paradoxes of history is that the next hesitant advance of European civilization - the development of the first city-states - took place not on the fertile open central European plains, but in a remote island to the south of the Aegean Sea which was completely lacking in metal resources. While the glittering mounted warrior-princes of central Europe dissipated their creative energy in warefare, a highly cultured yet peaceful society, built on trade and an agricultural surplus, emerged on Crete.
The history of Greece can be traced back to Stone Age hunters. Later came early farmers and thecivilizations of the Minoan and Mycenaean kings. This was followed by a period of wars and invasions, known as the Dark Ages. In about 1100 BC, a people called the Dorians invaded from the north and spread down the west coast. In the period from 500-336 BC Greece was divided into small city states, each of which consisted of a city and its surrounding countryside.
