Primitive Culture in Greece

First published in 1925, Primitive Culture in Greece dispassionately reviews the claim that the Greeks were heathen and asks how much of the savage ancestry was left in the classical Greek. In doing so it traces a historical continuity from the barbaric invasions of Greece to its later emergence of a classical culture. It is not written merely for the specialist, and assumes no technical knowledge, but simply an interest in one of the most remarkable civilizations of the world.
