An important collection of scholarship related to a broad topic of Aegean-Anatolian interconnectivity. The conference organizers, volume editors and contributors are to be congratulated for their stimulating research.' -- Bryn Mawr Classical Review Bryn Mawr Classical Review This book offers many windows on, and many paths into, the world of Hittites, Greeks, and their neighbors. It will doubtless be of interest to all classicists, as to all scholars concerned with Anatolia and the ancient Near East, and should be a required addition to any academic library concerned with the ancient world. The editors are to be congratulated for the conference and the volume it produced. Both classical and Anatolian studies are enriched by this eminently successful model of cross-disciplinary exchange on cross-cultural interaction in first- and second-millennium Anatolia and the eastern Aegean.' -- Mouseion vol. 8, no. 2 Mouseion vol. 8, no. 2 A strong and exciting read... deserves attention from scholars of both Anatolia and the Aegean, and from specialists in both the first and the second millennium BCE.' -- Scholia, vol 19 Scholia, vol 19
