Robert D. Morritt Echoes from the Greek Bronze Age

Annotation

Echoes from the Greek Bronze Age is the result of much that the author has read over several years. It is a study of the thoughts and works of early thinkers, from Hecataeus the early cartographer, to Herodotus' survey of the then "known world," the thoughts of Anaxagoras, Xenophon's descriptions, and the sayings of Xenophanes. Simones work on the art of memory, "The Loci" and its influence so many years later on Giordano Bruno declared as a heretic are also explored.This book will interest readers who enjoy history, archaic scientific observations and those who desire a good read, rather than that found within a turgid Classical monograph.The author hopes that the reader will enjoy this book as much as he enjoyed writing it.
