THE MINOAN AND MYCENAEAN ELEMENT IN HELLENIC LIFE

Abstract

This text is the first translation into Russian of a report presented by the English archaeologist and historian Arthur John Evans (1851-1941). The report entitled “The Minoan and Mycenaean element in Hellenic life” was presented to the Hellenic Society in June, 1912, no. 32, pp. 277-287. This speech is of undoubted interest to archaeologists and historians dealing with the problems of the Bronze Age and ancient civilizations. Many of the presented findings found development in the author’s subsequent works. The translation was made by Y. Yu. Moiseenko, Junior Researcher, Institute of Philosophy and Law, Ural Branch of the Russian Academy of Sciences.
