Excerpt from History of Art in Primitive Greece, Vol. 1 of 2: Mycenian Art
Since the beginning of the present century numerous monu ments have'been brought to light, old writings have been read and translated, chronologies have been discovered, thousands of inscriptions have been deciphered, and sculptures of the most varied kind have been exhumed, giving faithful portraitures of civilizations that had their being thousands of years before our era; ancient history, therefore, has had to be entirely te-written.
There is scarcely a day, so to speak, that does not add to the knowledge we already possessed as to the frequent and intimate intercourse which Hellas entertained with those Eastern nations whose territories extended to her own borders, and who were in the enjoyment of a culture little inferior to that of Babylon and Egypt at an age when the Hellenes were still semi-savages. Accordingly, no Art-history of Greece can now be undertaken without reference to Oriental art.
