Cutting from issue dated…………7……FEB……193 Ancient Greece (Geographical).—The lecture by Mr. R. H. D. Lockhart (Mr. Charles Sutton presiding) was an attempt to show the foundations of modern civilisation. It began with ancient Crete and indicated the connec- tion with Egypt in the early Bronze Age from 2500 B.C onwards. The period of the Minoan hegemony in the Ægean and the great “Palace” age of Crete (1600-1500 B.C.) was illustrated by many slides of the Palace of Knossos and frescoes and images from there and other palaces in Crete. Next came the Minyan culture in the mainland of Greece and the art of Mycenae and Tyrene. The fall of Knossos was fol- lowed by the age of the “sea rovers” and the rise of the Hittite Empire. The coming of the Ægean “heroes” to Greece about 1300 was succeeded by the use of Greek mercenaries and resulted in the Ægean remains at Beth Shan and the settlement of the Philistines in Southern Palestine. The Trojan War about 1100 B.C., described in Homer’s “Iliad,” was followed by the Dorian Invasion of Greece, and the final des- truction of the Ægean Bronze Age civilisation. When the curtain rose again about 800 B.C. they found the States of classical Greece in their infancy. The lecturer sketched the political developments of Sparta, Corinth, and Athens, on to the Persian Wars, the victories of Salamis and Plataen, and the Golden Age of Pericles. A large number of slides illustrated the various developments of the Greek people in literature, architecture, and sculpture.
