Description
"This book traverses the ancient world's three great centers of cultural exchange - Babylonian Ninevah, Egyptian Memphis, and Iranian Persepolis - to situate classical Greece in its proper historical place, at the Western margin of a more comprehensive Near Easter-Aegean cultural community that emerged in the Bronze Age and expanded westward in the first millennium B.C."--BOOK JACKET.
