Great details about a period I am sketchy about. I used this 15-min video [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aV4xYG4KMIU] to get caught up on Mycenae. I remember grinning while reading in Lucio Russo's (2004 The Forgotten Revolution on 'Antikythera') caustic description of how, after Rome wiped out Greece, Greek writings became a very popular commodity with Roman book collectors. As Horace put it, "Conquered Greece took captive her savage conqueror and brought her arts into rustic Latium." |
