Chapter 5: archaic greece: the eighth century renaissance and revolution. Archaic period the eighth through the sixth centuries. Interconnections between greece and near east reached a peak: been called the greek renaissance. Recalls mycenaean culture: also called the orientalizing revolution. Eastern influences are prominent: literary evidence: homer. Illiad and odyssey conventionally dated to 750 and 720. Depicted bronze age for an iron age audience. Homer"s heroes knew nothing of mycenaean culture and palaces. People most likely fake but places described are real. Archaeologists now believe trojan war likely happened. Odyssey reflects eastern contacts such as phoenicians. Appear in a negative light: competition rather than cooperation was the goal of the time. Shows homer was trying to play to the audience rather than paint an accurate picture. Illiad : warfare is tragic and humans aren"t perfect. Odyssey: longing for home and the glory of adventures at sea. Used formulae of a name and an epithet : fleet-footed achilles: literary evidence: hesiod.
