Soft cover, 28 cm, 264 pp., 163 color pictures. // Through a selection of 163 exquisite objects from the Benaki Museum collections covering a chronological span of eight thousand years and presenting a dazzling variety of objects, the book offers a spectacular panorama of the creativity of the Greek world through history: from antiquity and the period of Roman rule to the medieval Byzantine period, from the fall of Byzantium followed by the centuries of Frankish and Ottoman occupation to the outbreak of the struggle for independence and the formation of the modern Greek State.

Greece' s geographic position has been a crucial factor in determining the major role played by hellenism throughout a historical period extending from remotest antiquity to the expiration of the Byzantine era. It occupies an exceptionally advantageous location on the map, at a point where Europe meets Asia and where the North greets the southern winds from Africa. This no doubt explains Greece' s sense of familiarity with its neighbours, and especially its conspicuous acceptance of the racial and cultural individualities of the other. Independently of the friendly or hostile relations which developed from time to time, and of sometimes radical differences of social conviction and religious belief, the channels of communication never became obstructed. Nor did the position change during the post-Byzantine era of foreign occupation and in the years after the independence of the modern… Read More
