"Geometric Greece "has long been the standard work on this absorbing period, which saw the evolution of the Greek city-states, the composition of the Honeric poems, the first of the great Panhellenic sanctuaries and the first exodus of Greek colonists to southern Italy and Sicily. Professor Coldstream has now fully updated his comprehensive survey with a substantial new chapter on the abundant discoveries and developments made since the book's first publication. The text is presented in three main sections: the passing of the dark ages, c.900-770 BC; the Greek renaissance, c.770-700 BC, covered region by region, and the final part on life in eighth century Greece. Its geographical coverage of the Mediterranean ranges from Syria to Sicily, and the detailed archaeological evidence is amplified by reference to literary sources. Highly illustrated, including images of several finds never previously published, this is the essential handbook for anyone studying early Greek antiquity.

Industry Reviews

'This second edition of Geometric Greece is sure to prove as essential for the period as was its predecessor.' - Minverva

'This [is an] excellent survey based on [J.N. Coldstream's] deep learning. Geometric Greece is brought up to date in a masterly way. This will certainly remain the main book of reference in this field of Greek archaeology for many years to come.' - Ancient West and East
