Author Description

LECTURE NOTES TO ACCOMPANY THE 5-LECTURE VIDEO SERIES. Dr. William J. Neidinger has prepared a 5-lecture adult education series on video, "The Heroic Age of Ancient Greece." In this series, Dr. Neidinger examines the archaeological sites and artifacts of Bronze Age Greece to determine what the evidence tells us of the Heroic Age and the creation of the myths of the Heroic Age. This new volume is a companion to the video series, and comprises lecture notes in outline format. Notes are illustrated with thumbnail color photos and maps referenced in the video programs. It is not a stand-alone account of the Heroic Age, but is meant to be used as a study guide by viewers of the video series. LECTURE TITLES: 1. The Rise of Minoan Crete2. Minoan Religion and Society3.
