章节摘录

　　There are no fixed or universally agreed dates for the beginning or the end of the Ancient Greek period. In common usage it refers to all Greek history before the Roman Empire. Generally， its history is usually divided into several periods， among which we introduce three of them.　　History of Mycenaean Greece was from 1600 B. C. to about 1100 B.C.Mycenae， which was located in the Peloponnesian， was a country where slaves were commonly used in agricultural and handicraft production and on construction sites. The slave-owners were principally kings and monastery authorities. By about 1400 B. C. the Mycenaeans had become very prosperous. Excavations of Mycenaean graves revealed that they bur-ied their dead with gold jewelry， bronze swords， and silver cups. The My-cenaeans lived in independent communities clustered around palaces and ruled by kings. The Mycenaeans had a warrior culture that enabled them to conquer the others. The Trojan War， a famous battle told centuries later by Homer in his two famous epics Iliad and Odyssey， broke out at the end of Mycenaean civilization， which was known as "Heroic Age" culminated in the war， such as Hercules， Ajax， Achilles and Agamemnon. After that，still　　ther records showed several minor fights. The Mycenaeans' eagerness to fight contributed to their downfall.　　……

•   书挺好的，讲了很多有意思的东西，就是来的太慢了，差点赶不上上课
•   没想到是全英文的，或许可以标明一下
•   本以为这本书是言简意赅型的，没想到只是其他类似版本的偷懒版！没有掠影的意味，仍然是教科书一般的苦涩无趣，束之高阁还不够精装，鸡肋！
