Description

(025619) Baker, Howard. Persephone's Cave: Cultural Accumulations of the Early Greeks. Athens: Univ. Of Georgia Press, 1979. 1st Edition. Hardcover. 8vo. 335 pages. Fine in Fine DJ. B&W Illustrations. Claims to be an unusual and speculative book. Its chapters are centered upon the tunnel of Eupalinus, Ionian architecture, modern Samos, and such cultural heroes as Pythagoras, Aesop, and Eudoxus of Cnidus; but the declared subject of each chapter is the hub of a wheel with spokes going in all the directions of the early Greek experiment: ship-building, religion, poetry, historiography, sculpture, commerce, fable, drama, medicine, mathematics, astrology, coinage, mythology, city- planning. ISBN: 0820304387 (Greece, Greek Civilization)
