Ancient Greece can feel strangely familiar. From the great feat of Achilles who was

Homer, The Illiad to the works of Aristotle,
from the exacting measurements of
the Parthenon (帕台农神庙) to the
rhythmic chaos of the Laoco?n (below),
ancient Greek culture has shaped our
world.(1) Thanks largely to notable archaeological sites, well-known literary works, and the influence of Hollywood, this civilization is embedded(嵌入) in our collective consciousness .
Scattered around the Mediterranean and divided into lf-governing units called city-states, the ancient Greeks were
united by a shared language, religion,
and culture . Strengthening the bonds
further were the temples and festivals
that embraced “all Greeks” and
encouraged interaction, competition, and
exchange. Although popular modern

The Dark Ages (c. 1100 – c. 800 B.C.E.) to the Orientalizing Period (c. 700 – 600 B.C.E.)
Following the collap of the Mycenaean castles of the late Bronze Age, the Greek
mainland was traditionally
thought to enter a “Dark Age”.
Not only did its complex socio-
cultural system disappear, but
also its numerous achievements
(i.e., metalworking, large-scale
construction, writing). The
discovery and continuous ex cav ation of a site known as Lefkandi, however, completely
changes this impression. Located just north of Athens, Lefkandi has yielded an immen structure, a massive network of graves, and two heroic tombs filled with gold objects and valuable hor offerings. One of the most interesting artifacts, buried in two parate graves, is a statue with a hor body and a human head. Relating to mythology and perhaps a particular story, this strange statue shows the cultural richness of this period.
Similar in its adoption of narrative elements is a va-painting likely dating to c. 730 B.C.E. The images on the

artifacts. Though simplistic, the

Ariadne (In Greek mythology, the hero Theus slew the Minotaur —
a creature with the head of a bull and the body of a man —with aid from Ariadne, then sailed with her to the island of Naxos)? Is this an abduction(诱拐)? Perhaps Paris and Helen (Paris was the son of the king of Troy —he abducted Helen, wife of King Menelaus, sparking the Trojan War)? Or, is the man bidding farewell to the woman and tting off on a journey as had Odysus and Penelope (Odysus left his wife Penelope for twenty years to fight in the Trojan War)? The answer is unattainable.
Alongside Near Eastern topics and animal processions, craftsmen produced more delicate figural forms and accessible illustrations(插图). For example, terracotta painted plates from the Temple of Apollo are some of the earliest evidence for architectural
decoration in Iron Age Greece. Once

Not only is the painter successful here in telling a particular story, but also the figure of Perus shows great advancement from the previous century. The limbs are fleshy, the facial features are recognizable, and the hat and winged boots appropriately equip the hero for fast travel. achievement ex cav ation adoption unattainable accessible architectural.
