Black Ships and Sea Raiders: The Late Bronze and Early Iron Age Context of Odysseus' Second Cretan Lie

Reseña del libro

This book investigates the chaotic end of the Bronze Age in the Aegean and Eastern Mediterranean through the lens of Homeric poetry, with an emphasis on the description of piratical activities described in the Odyssey's "Second Cretan Lie," and on the impact of revolutionary seafaring technology in this watershed period in Mediterranean history.
