The Mycenaean Tree And Pillar Cult And Its Mediterranean Relations (Hardcover) (ISBN-13: 9781161622294)

The Mycenaean Tree and Pillar Cult and Its Mediterranean Relations is a scholarly work written by Arthur J. Evans, a prominent archaeologist and historian. The book explores the religious practices of the ancient Mycenaeans, a civilization that thrived in Greece during the Bronze Age (approximately 1600-1100 BCE). Specifically, Evans focuses on the cult of trees and pillars, which was a central aspect of Mycenaean religion.Using archaeological evidence and historical sources, Evans traces the development of the Mycenaean tree and pillar cult and its connections to other religious practices in the Mediterranean region. He examines the symbolism and meaning of trees and pillars in Mycenaean culture, as well as the rituals and ceremonies associated with them.Throughout the book, Evans argues that the Mycenaean tree and pillar cult was not an isolated phenomenon, but rather part of a larger religious tradition that was shared by many cultures in the ancient Mediterranean world. He explores the similarities and differences between the Mycenaean cult and other religious practices, such as those of the Minoans, the Egyptians, and the Phoenicians.Overall, The Mycenaean Tree and Pillar Cult and Its Mediterranean Relations is a comprehensive and detailed study of an important aspect of ancient Greek religion. It provides valuable insights into the beliefs and practices of the Mycenaeans, as well as their connections to other cultures in the Mediterranean region. The book is a must-read for anyone interested in the history and archaeology of ancient Greece.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
