THE GREEKS

on Network Three

A series, of ten programmes
1: THE HOMERIC WORLD by Denysi Page
Regius Professor of Greek in the University of Cambridge
In this opening programme Professor Page describes the earliest ages of Greek history-the Mycenaean civilisation and the siege of Troy as we know of them through the poems of Homer and through the discoveries of modern archaeology. He discusses some of the problems posed by the contrasting pictures these give us.
