Scrinium Classical Antiquity

SETTEGAST, M., Plato, Prehistorian. 10,000 to 5000 B.C. Myth, Religion, Archaeology. Lindisfarne Press,New York, 1990. XIII,334p. ills. Paperback. Nice copy. In his Timaeus and Critias dialogues, Plato wrote of two ancient civilizations that flourished more than 9000 years before his time. Socrates accepted the account as true, and modern archaeological techniques may yet prove him right. In a synthesis of classical and archaeological scholarship, Mary Settegast takes us from the cave paintings of Lascaux to the shrines of Çatal Hüyük, demonstrating correspondences both to Plato's tale and to the mystery religions of antiquity. (Editor's information).

Luce, Trinity College, Dublin). € 45.00 (Antiquarian)
