Aristocratic Society in Ancient Crete (Routledge Revivals)

By R F Willetts

Aristocratic Society in Ancient Crete, first published in 1955, investigates the emergence and progress of Dorian society on Crete from the 8th century BC onwards. The primitive foundations of the social system are examined; the four classes of the Cretan states, and the mutual relations of these classes, are defined; and the stages whereby family institutions developed are analysed. Finally, political and judicial organisation is scrutinised, and the Cretan culture is situated in the wider horizon of Mediterranean civilisation.
