The Bull of Minos: The Great Discoveries of Ancient Greece
"The story of the heroic discoveries grips him and communicates itself to his readers, who must welcome a book both scholarly and easy, painstaking and alive."--Freya Stark,Time and Tide"This book is a stimulating introduction to the Mycenaean Age of Greece."--Sir John Forsdyke,Sunday Times"Cottrell has not only passionately studied the literature of Aegean archaeology, but he has visited most of the important sites and conveys vividly his sense of excitement and discovery."--Guardian[Cottrell is] at his best when communicating that fresh and fateful sense of life which must have prevailed in very ancient times when gods walked the earth like men. It is this feeling of epiphany which makes Mr. Cottrell’s book a most worthwhile popularisation of its subject."--E.B. Garside
