Elizabeth Craiks Scholarship Sets This Lively Outlying Region Of The Ancient Greek World Which Included Rhodes, Kos, Karpathos, Melos, And Thera In The Perspective Of Greek Civilization As A Whole, Demonstrating That Excessive Emphasis On The Athenian Advancements Of The Fifth Century Bc Tends To Obscure The Contribution Of Other Regions. Beginning With A Discussion Of The Geographical Setting, Natural Resources And Historical Development Of The Area, The Dorian Aegean Goes On To Survey Linguistic Usage And Local Scripts, And To Examine The Regional Contribution To Literature, Medicine And Science.
