"Archaic Greece saw a number of decisive changes, including the emergence of the polis,
the foundation of Greek settlements throughout the Mediterranean and Black Sea, the
organization of Panhellenic games and festivals, the rise of tyranny, the invention
of literacy, the composition of the Homeric epics, and the emergence of lyric poetry,
the development of monumental architecture and large-scale sculpture, and the establishment
of 'democracy'. This book argues that the best way of understanding them is the application
of an eclectic Marxist model of class struggle, a struggle not only over control of
agricultural land but also over cultural ideals and ideology. A substantial theoretical
introduction lays out the underlying assumptions in relation to alternative models.
Material and textual remains of the period are examined in depth for clues to their
ideological import, while later sources and a wide range ofmodern scholarship are
evaluated for their explanatory power"
