H.R. Hall was an early 20th century historian who wrote at length about ancient Greece in a number of highly regarded histories, including this one. From the preface: "The series of "Studies of the Mycen�an Age" which are comprised in this volume contain the notes made during the course of some years' study of the "Mycen�an Question," expanded and thrown into a connected form. The chief problems of "Mycen�an" arch�ology are dealt with separately, but at the same time are also, as far as possible, connected in order to form a homogeneous study of the Mycen�an Question as it stands to-day. Here and there it has been found impossible, when discussing some one problem, to steer clear of trenching upon the domain of another; repetition of argument has, however, been as far as possible avoided, and it is hoped that these chapters will be of use both to the scientific arch�ological student and to the layman who interests himself in the most fascinating search which ever yet allured the seeker after forgotten history-the search for the origins of Greek civilization.

Contrary to a prevalent belief of the Western world, that democracy, agriculture, theater and the arts were the attainments of Classical Greek civilization, these were actually a Bronze Age fusion of earlier European concepts and Hellenic ingenuity. This work considers both the multicultural wellspring from which these ideas flowed and their ready assimilation by the Greeks, who embraced these hallmarks of civilization, and refined them to the level of sophistication that defines classical antiquity.

Excerpt from The Oldest Civilization of Greece: Studies of the Mycenaean Age The series of "Studies of the Mycenæean Age" which are comprised in this volume contain the notes made during the course of some years' study of the "Mycenæan Question," expanded and thrown into a connected form. The chief problems of "Mycenaean" archæology are dealt with separately, but at the same time are also, as far as possible, connected in order to form a homogeneous study of the Mycenæan Question as it stands to-day. Here and there it has been found impossible, when discussing some one problem, to steer clear of trenching upon the domain of another; repetition of argument has, however, been as far as possible avoided, and it is hoped that these chapters will be of use both to the scientific archæological student and to the layman who interests himself in the most fascinating search which ever yet allured the seeker after forgotten history-the search for the origins of Greek civilization. It must ever be borne in mind that this search is still being pursued amid the clouds. We are not on firm earth when we are dealing with things Myceæan, and have still to walk warily.
