The Search for Ancient Greece

Etienne takes readers on a fascinating voyage of discovery--of ancient Greek civilization and of the people who studied it. Why has Greece served as a model for so many other civilizations? How did technology and politics combine in the growth of archaeology in 19th- and 20th-century Greece? The story of the rediscovery of Greece serves also as an examination of Western culture.
